Embark on an extraordinary artistic adventure across time and space!

Soka Art is delighted to present DISCOVERY PART III, a highly anticipated solo exhibition by Tatsuya Yokosaka, running from December 7, 2024, to January 4, 2025. Hailing from Japan, Yokosaka continues his acclaimed series of works,drawing inspiration from the concept of a "time machine." By reimagining iconic Porsche cars, he explores humanity’s fear of the unknown during times of disaster, revealing a deep-seated longing to revisit the past.

Nostalgia Meets Innovation! 

Tatsuya Yokosaka’s Groundbreaking “Film Box” Art Will Leave You in Awe

Tatsuya Yokosaka’s artistic creations are deeply influenced by Japanese anime culture, blending nostalgia with innovation. His works feel like meticulously curated animations, complete with intricate temporal settings, historical backdrops, and contextually relevant objects. Known for his whimsical and heartwarming style, Yokosaka’s art always surprises with unexpected details. His iconic Film Box Series exemplifies his unique interpretation of nostalgia and modernity. Inspired by his fondness for vintage imaging techniques and a love for contemporary technology, Yokosaka transforms canvases into hyper-realistic model kits. Every detail, from the worn edges to the textured surfaces, is crafted with precision. By adding hand-drawn labels, vintage stickers, and playful doodles to "cels," he creates visual tension between reality and imagination, offering a fresh contemporary perspective.

Set 200 years from now, this exhibition depicts a post-apocalyptic world where a lone figure roams the ruins, scavenging rare parts to rebuild a Porsche into a time machine to revisit the past. Yet, understanding the relics of humanity proves challenging—a simple plastic board or painting becomes an enigma. The wisdom and prosperity of humanity are obscured by time, lost amidst the ruins. Through his unique creative process,Yokosaka captures the haunting yet surreal beauty of a post-human world, filled with both familiarity and strange absurdity.

Porsche Transformed! A Vintage Sports Car Becomes a Moving Fortress of Adventure

In Discovery America Road Star, Yokosaka presents a modified Porsche 911 in a highly detailed and playful style. The car is adorned with everyday items—antennas, life preservers, undergarments, shoeboxes—evoking the preparations for an epic journey into the unknown. The composition mimics vintage model kit packaging, with the artist’s signature “Tatsuya” in the top-right corner, a tribute to the iconic model brand "Tamiya." Combining nostalgic elements with a sci-fi aesthetic, the piece is both familiar and refreshingly novel.

Similarly themed around a stylish and vintage Porsche sports car, the modified vehicle in the artwork, The Anywhere Door, resembles a mobile home, evoking Hayao Miyazaki's animated masterpiece, Howl's Moving Castle. In the animation, the wizard Howl pilots his moving castle through a war-torn world, traversing vast landscapes in search of peace and stability. Tatsuya Yokosaka transforms the Porsche into a mobile sanctuary, capable of wandering along the boundaries between reality and fantasy. It carries its driver across different times and spaces, exploring a variety of wondrous and enchanting landscapes at will.
