Teiji Hayama
Japanese visual artist currently living and working in Switzerland.
When he became 18, he left Japan and moved to London where he graduated the Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design.
Hayama’s greyscale paintings depict oddly distorted portraits with bored exhausted faces inspired by old Hollywood celebrities and vintage photography.
The portraits of glamorous personage with droopy eyes and long armophous rubber-like bodies, tackles the viewer on how social media fatigue has overburdened humans.
Teiji Hayama exhibits his work regularly in galleries and Art Fairs throughout the world.
