Cet ouvrage constitue la première monographie consacrée à l’œuvre de Kazuhiro Hori, artiste japonais né en 1969 à Tokyo. À travers une sélection de ses peintures les plus emblématiques, il propose une introduction à son univers oppressant, peuplé d’adolescentes anémiées et de peluches maléfiques. On y découvrira ces lycéennes étranges qui, dans des décors jonchés de jouets, de sucreries, d’objets inquiétants et familiers, se livrent à des échanges douloureux, intrusifs, non consentis, parfois traumatisants. En voyageant dans ce monde parallèle fascinant et unique, on pourra entrevoir une part de son mystère et apprécier son indicible beauté.
Kazuhiro Hori est né au Japon en 1969. Diplômé du Kanazawa College of Art, il a fait de la peinture sa discipline principale et expose régulièrement ses travaux dans son pays d'origine comme à l'international. Il enseigne également l'art contemporain et le dessin au Japon. Kazuhiro Hori vit et travaille à Tokyo.

This book is the first monograph devoted to the work of Kazuhiro Hori. Through a selection of his most emblematic paintings, it offers an introduction to the oppressive universe of the Japanese artist, populated by anemic teenagers and evil stuffed animals. We will discover these strange high school girls who, in settings littered with toys, sweets, disturbing and familiar objects, engage in painful, intrusive, non-consensual and sometimes traumatic exchanges. By traveling through this fascinating and unique parallel world, we will be able to glimpse a part of its mystery and appreciate its unspeakable beauty.

Having made painting his main discipline, he depicts a certain nightmarish vision of adolescence in his disturbing and surrealist works. He regularly exhibits his work in his home country and internationally. He also teaches contemporary art and drawing in Japan.
