Author of Ryuko, Gamma Draconis & Hen Kai Pan, Eldo Yoshimizu was born in 1965 in Tokyo. Having specialised in sculpture while studying at the University of Arts in Tokyo, he has installed numerous works in public space... Exhibitions in Japan as well as throughout Asia and in New York led him in 1994 to a scholarship as "Artist in Residence" in New York. In 2003 he realised the work "First Light" for the art and exhibition space of the Louis Vuitton branch in Omotesando (in Tokyo). With the feeling of having satisfied his hunger in the field of contemporary fine art, he turned to Gekiga and began to focus on the interplay of object and space in the art of storytelling.
Come see Eldo Yoshimizu’s work on the 5th floor curved wall of BACC and meet the legendary mangaka during the convention on Saturday 25 and Sunday 26 October!
