A bizarre and unsettling conglomeration of erotic and confrontational art pieces from some of the most notable figures in the field, ranging from R. Crumb's tried and tested counterculture style to Aurelie Levaux's dense, complex work, and Ichiba Daisuke's bizarre, gory melding of traditional Japanese art styles with borrowings from manga and anime.

First Limited Edition. Folio. 36cm. Limited to a run of 200 copies only. Publisher's original illustrated heavy card wraps. Unpaginated [72pp.]. Light wear and creasing to corners and extremities, a little soiling to the white portions of the card wraps, strong and bright; internally clean and fresh, lavishly illustrated. A very good, strong copy. Described as both violent and beautiful Daisuke Ichiba's visual art style borrows from manga and anime, Japanese body horror, Asian folklore and the supernatural, and a hefty dose of queasy eroticism, often placed in direct opposition to the grotesque nature of the composition. "Mariage" is one of his limited edition book form pieces for the outsider art studio "Le Derneir Cri" in Marseilles. "Pakito", resident artist at Dernier Cri, and the celebrated manga artist Takashi Nemoto, have both served as patrons of Ichiba's art over the years, and Takashi Nemoto in particular has been a staunch supporter of Daisuke's often controversial and divisive work. "Humans simultaneously combine tenderness and violence. If you peel back the face of a beautiful woman you see it is clogged with viscera. Choosing to create work that is only beautiful feels artificial. Thus I paint both. You cannot sever the two. The expression that results is a natural chaos. In my work I project chaos, anarchy, anxiety, the grotesque, the absurd, and the irrational. By doing so I attain harmony. This is my art. Put simply, I paint humanity (the spirit)." - Daisuke Ichiba.
