"Hajime Sorayama is a Japanese illustrator known, along for his design work on the original Sony AIBO, for his precisely detailed, erotic portrayals of feminine robots. He describes his highly detailed style as "superrealism", which he says "deals with the technical issue of how close one can get to one's object."
"For nearly 50 years, Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama has developed a singular practice with his Sexy Robots at the center. These chrome-plated women figures feature impossibly smooth, reflective bodies that mirror viewers and their surroundings. The artist first rendered them in painstaking airbrush, then began sculpting them in mirror-polished aluminum and stainless-steel sculptures. In the mid-2010s, he made them life-sized via digital modeling and collaborations with engineers and production studios.
Sorayamas robots have reverberated across the worlds of pop culture, luxury fashion, and streetwear. Museums have embraced the artist, who is nevertheless distrustful of taste and global acclaim. I hate academism, I hate authority."
