I am sure many of you are already familiar with the name Naoto Hattori, a rising star from Japan responsible for a phenominal amount of Subversive Psychedelic Lowbrow Art. I couldn't throw enough adjectives at this mans giant body of deranged works. Naoto's cute Rydenesk characters creep closer to the macabre than many of his contemporaries (in the pop surrealist movement) and are packed with more drug references than you could poke a joint at. I would like to probe deeper into the mind of Naoto at some stage and may come back with an interview. For now, i must go to bed. Tis late.

Naoto is having a solo show of new works from June 1st - July 1st at the Lineage Gallery - 21 N. 2nd Street Philadelphia, PA USA

Naoto is one of 50 artists published in our first book: Metamorphosis
