The Dark (but cute) Art of Junko Mizuno

Old Laundry Theatre
28 September 
2.30 - 3.30pm

Known for her unique manga style, Japanese artist Junko Mizuno combines cuteness, gore and eroticism within an oeuvre that includes comics, painting, drawings, animation and toys. Influenced by vintage shojo manga, folktales, horror and pop art, Mizuno creates fairy tales where deliciously adorable pin-ups prance naively through psychedelic worlds, battling and cohabiting with the dark magic that surrounds them. Junko has grown into a huge global cult figure, and we are thrilled to welcome her back to LICAF. Junko will draw live whilst discussing her awe-inspiring wealth of work with Junko expert and friend, Paul Gravett.
