Wild Fridays: [Akira Kusaka]

Simon Wild experiences the sound of silence in the delicate work of Akira Kusaka

Gaze long enough into Akira Kusaka’s images and you might just find you are the closest you will come to experiencing time standing still. Akira’s illustrations effortlessly convey the sound of silence and are visual meditations on the quiet human endeavours of creativity and imagination.

Akira’s characters are captured in quiet and whimsical ways as they embark on personal journeys that include music, dance and star gazing. I always enjoy witnessing the illustrator’s personality in their work. It somehow makes the experience richer and more emotive. Akira’s voice is distinctive and unique in that it slows the pulse yet stimulates the senses.

Have a great weekend!
