The painter O JUN cuts through to psychological depths with irrational images that often seem like fragments of a story. Containing some 150 pieces that convey O JUN’s inimitable views of scenes of contemporary Japan, from his series of figurative pieces to his most recent work, this volume looks back at this artist’s thirty-year career. A handwritten chronology, exhibition history and other information are provided at the end of the book to give a comprehensive overview of O JUN’s work.
