Jacket work for the timeless masterpiece "A LONG VACATION" (Eiichi Otaki) that continues to be loved by many people Hiroshi Nagai is a popular illustrator who has been active since the 1970s, creating many record jackets and advertisements.
Hiroshi Nagai is known for his unique style, which seems to be a mixture of surrealism and pop art.
Nagai said that when he visited Guam and California with his mentor Teruhiko Yumura and his friends, he encountered scenes of palm trees, blue skies, and greenery reflecting in the light, and decided on the direction of his illustrations. . I think there are many people who feel nostalgic about the one-of-a-kind "scenery that can't be found anywhere else'' that was created by further expanding the image.
Since I started working as an illustrator in 1976, I have continued to draw what I like, and by maintaining a consistent style over time, I have become a ?guniversal?h figure. Many of his works have received offers from Japan's leading companies and respect from many artists, and even at the age of 70, he continues to lead a busy life.
The newly edited collection of works "THE JOURNEY BEGINS'' is selected by Hiroshi Nagai himself, and includes everything from early works to recent works, including poolside, cars, people, night views, waves, etc. The works selected include buildings and the synonymous palm trees swaying in the wind, which everyone has seen at least once on record jackets, advertisements, and books.
