Synopsis
Aya Takano's collectible manga envisions a 200-year jelly utopia, blending sci-fi, gender fluidity, and Japanese teen culture.
Aya Takano, a contemporary artist who fluidly eludes concrete classification of global art world melts in her saucepan everything from present/future, male/female to cruelty/utter sweetness spiced up with Japanese teenagers' arrogance into the “Jelly Civilization," a curiously antique Sci-Fi world 200 years from now. It's a super sustainable utopia where androgynous creatures live and love in a sweet decadence of subtle perversion without being hurt by anything - no square-ish gadgets or buildings Takano has always hated since childhood and everything is made of a jelly-like soft substance which will eventually dissolve into the soil. The latest manga by the artist is not another paperback you would consume but rather a collectible artwork made up of 180 fine art drawings with a unique typeface designed out of her own handwriting. It also comes with a postcard featuring The World in Two Hundred Years, one of the paintings exhibited in her solo show at Galerie Perrotin Paris in 2017 that showcased a total of 26 preparatory paintings and drawings for the manga piece.
