Collection: Backside Works

Backside Works, an enigmatic artist from Fukuoka, Japan, remains anonymous, attributing this choice to a lack of confidence in their appearance. This mysterious artist believes in making the audience the central character of their art, inviting them to craft their own narratives alongside "Heroine," a recurrent figure in their creations that embodies the role of a female protagonist. Deeply influenced by Japanese Otaku and street culture from a young age, Backside Works employs a diverse range of techniques including painting, silkscreen, pen drawings, and spray painting, incorporating elements of anime, manga, and graffiti. Their distinctive style has led to notable collaborations with brands such as Levis, Converse, and Weekly Shonen Jump, positioning Backside Works as a prominent figure in both local and global art scenes.
