Lucien Pellat-Finet has teamed up with Japanese contemporary artist Hiroyuki Matsuura to open a pop-up store in the promotion space on the first floor of Seibu Shibuya Building A for one week from January 26th to February 1st.
This collaboration will see the release of cashmere knit pullovers and cardigans, which are synonymous with the brand, featuring Matsuura's graphic art rendered in the finest intarsia. Two types of T-shirts (88,000 yen each, tax included) printed with his works will also be available.
Hiroyuki Matsuura was born in Tokyo in 1964. Influenced by the television animation and character culture he watched from a young age, he created his own work in his solo exhibition "Super Acrylic With the work "Skin," he transitioned from designer to artist. Since then, he has expanded his scope of work, working in a variety of formats including painting, sculpture, and printmaking, while also working both domestically and internationally. In 2017, he exhibited his four-meter-tall masterpiece, "Uki-uki" (2012), at the exhibition "Cool Japan: World Fascination in Focus," held at the VolkenkundMuseum (Leiden) and TropenMuseum (Amsterdam) in the Netherlands. It was also used as the main visual for the exhibition.
