Pesu

“We need to appreciate our ancestors and the culture that we have created for us as well as find the best way to live with nature.”

Earlier this month Pesu, a Japanese artist in NYC, sat with Format Mag for an interview. Since arriving on the east coast, his success has grown exponentially: participating in independent live art shows and in MTV’s Art Battles, having his own gallery shows, featuring in Lupe Fiasco’s Day Dreamin’ video, being an Evisu artist, and now becoming an artist art-buyers look for, painting 150 pieces in 2007 and selling over 120 of them.

We bring you a few of his art pieces. Keep an eye out for Pesu. I'm sure you'll be in for some surprises from him in the future.
