Tadanori Yokoo's "Tales of Now and Then" series is a deliberate expression of his own personal fantasies, intended to be conveyed to an unspecified number of people.

Tadanori Yokoo has used his skills as a graphic designer to turn personal experiences such as hallucinations and dreams into works that anyone can understand.

Intention behind the creation of the work
Expression of personal fantasy
I want to convey the visions I have seen, the world of my imagination, through my work.

Public outreach
He expresses his personal experiences through images that many people can relate to.

Fusion of design and art
We utilize the technique of "reading images," which is a designer's skill.

Pursuing expression that transcends the boundaries between art and design.
Tadanori Yokoo questioned the advertising designs that catered to the mass consumption society of the period of rapid economic growth, and he approached his work with an attitude of fully enjoying the power of the art of painting.
