This art collection is from a solo exhibition held by Japanese illustrator Imperial Boy at d/art Gallery in Taiwan in early 2022.Imperial Town Memory | Imperial Boy's First Solo Exhibition in TaiwanThe exhibition catalogue published by [the organizer].

The two-volume art book contains 210 pages and comes in a plastic box. The paperback format is seamless, and the printing and layout are meticulous, with one volume in landscape and the other in portrait orientation, beautifully showcasing the illustrations. This is also Empire Boys' first art book collection, packed with illustrations and definitely worth collecting!

The fictional city "Imperial Town" in the novel has a magical quality, with a fantastical touch amidst the Asian-style everyday life.

The spatial arrangement and the depiction of light and shadow are stunning and full of creativity!

Many of the included works have a sketch-like quality, lacking in fine detail, yet they still manage to evoke the atmosphere of the corresponding space and spark the imagination. 🏮

The art collection also includes a small number of black and white works and line drawings. I was very satisfied to appreciate both books!
