Japanese illustrator Hajime Sorayama's "Sexy Robot Gigantes (Signed)" is a comprehensive collection of works that reexamines his work, which has consistently depicted the body, eroticism, and futuristic imagination from the late 1970s to the present. His "Sexy Robot" series, released in the 1980s, combined metallic textures with the female body, simultaneously evoking sensuality and inhumanity, making a powerful impact on illustration at the time. This book centers around this masterpiece and encompasses motifs that could be considered Sorayama's lifework, such as metallic female figures, animal robots, and pin-up girls, arranging his early and recent works as a continuous visual language. His erotic yet coolly controlled depictions go beyond mere fetishism; they idealize the body and reflect the desire to continually renew itself artificially. The book also includes sketches, close-ups, and a conversation with Kyoichi Tsuzuki, providing a valuable insight into his creative process and the iterative process that informs it.
This book is an introduction to the artist Hajime Sorayama's overall work, and also a book that shows how his artistic expression has been supported by a consistent aesthetic.
