Contemporary Japanese visual artists tweaked the genes of Osamu Tezuka's manga characters in dozens of works featured at the recent "Tezuka Gene - Light in the Darkness" exhibit at Parco Factory in Shibuya. Here is a small selection.
The Three-Eyed One (Enlightenment)
Ambassador Magma (Yutanpo Shirane)
Ode to Kirihito (Motohiko Odani)
Buddha (Junichi)
Saouri
I saw other images, few days ago, when the exhibition opens...
[]I really love some concepts about the re-imagination of Tezuka works. Like the Astroboy pixel version, in 3 diferent sizes.
It was lovely.
