Sorayamas neues Buch enthält sehr explizites Material und ist definitiv nur für Erwachsene geeignet. Seine erotischen, futuristischen und hyperrealistischen Illustrationen loten ein Terrain aus, das sich in der Fotografie unmöglich verwirklichen ließe. Nur Meister Sorayama, ausgestattet mit grenzenloser Fantasie, nutzt in dieser Weise Stift, Pinsel, Acrylbemalung und Airbrush-Pistole. Und die hier versammelten Arbeiten sind gleichsam atemberaubend, abstoßend und trotzdem allesamt faszinierend. Nur wenige dieser Bilder wurden bisher gezeigt. Nun ist es soweit: Sorayama gibt seine bisher geheimen Arbeiten frei: Das ist wirklich nichts für zarte Gemüter, Sie sind gewarnt! Sorayama's new book contains highly explicit art and is definitely suitable for adults only. His erotic, futuristic, hyper-realistic illustrations create a visual landscape that would be impossible to achieve in photography alone. Only the masterful Sorayama, equipped with boundless imagination, is able to achieve this, using pencil and brush, acrylic paint and airbrush. The works collected here are simultaneously breath-taking and at times repulsive, yet all of them utterly fascinating. Very few of these images have been published before, but now the time has come for Sorayama to release this secret work. These images are really not for the squeamish; you have been warned!

Hajime Sorayama was born in 1947 in Imabari, Ehime prefecture, Japan. He received his basic education at Imabari Kita High School. In 1965 he was admitted to the Shikoku Gakuin University, where he began to study Greek and English literature In 1967, after the publication of his first work, Pink Journal, he transferred to Tokyo's Chuo Art School where he began to study art. Sorayama graduated in 1968 at the age of 21, and gained an appointment in an advertising agency. He became a freelance illustrator in 1972. In 1978 he drew his first robot and that started his career as a unique artist lauded by his peers fans and collectors. In retrospect, Sorayama's work has been remarkably prescient. Beginning in the 1970's and evolving into the 21st century, the futuristic aura of the robotic, mythic and fantastical figures in his art have always been ahead of their time in many cases predictive of future reality. He resides in Tokyo.
