Kiriko Arai Art Collection: Somewhere [Parco Publishing]

Japanese Original Edition, Brand New Artbook

Kiriko Arai Art Collection: Somewhere is an artbook collection featuring illustrations by Kiriko Arai, an artist known for her delicate style and emotionally expressive artwork. The book presents a curated selection of her works, highlighting her approach to atmosphere, composition, and visual storytelling.

This is the first art collection by illustrator Arai Kiriko, who has a core fan base not only for her illustrations but also for her highly designed works such as soft vinyl figures and apparel, as an independent artist. It brings together a collection of
works in which the hugely popular icon "Ookami-kun," symbolizing her allegorical worldview, has branched out into various forms somewhere, sometime. It includes many illustrations drawn since 2017 when her activities became more serious, and the story that delves into the roots of "Ookami-kun" is a newly drawn story appearing for the first time in this book.
With detailed backgrounds that connect three and two dimensions in past solo exhibition visuals, and photographs of three-dimensional canvas works, soft vinyl figures, and other goods, this book is the culmination of Arai Kiriko's world.
