last century modern

Towa Tei ft UA

i like the phrase "last century modern", it makes me think of this md player i used to carry around with me everywhere in middle school. it was a sad old red thing and i listened to a lifetime's worth of bad music on it...


i am really into Arimoto Toshio's artwork at the moment
the world he paints is so quiet and i love that the women are almost always alone but they never look lonely!




































* Arimoto used this technique of repeatedly laying on paint and scratching it off to give his paintings a worn out look. he would even hammer holes in the frames. i think that's one of the reasons why they're so special, the paintings look old but they have a quality that is completely timeless and ageless
