Discover the All-New Ultimate Collection by Artist Tetsushi Aoyama: LOVE & PEACE

Tetsushi Aoyama's Landmark Art Collection: LOVE & PEACE

On February 20, 2026, esteemed contemporary artist Tetsushi Aoyama will unveil his highly anticipated art collection, "LOVE & PEACE." This complete collection will showcase 109 pieces, capturing his vibrant artistic evolution from early works to current masterpieces. Notably, this edition will be a large, luxurious format designed to highlight the intricate details and dynamic energy of Aoyama's art.

The cover of this special edition will feature a stunning UV printing technique on canvas that brings forth a three-dimensional aspect to Aoyama's creations. Each book will also be uniquely personalized, with Aoyama himself adding the owner’s name, transforming each copy into a one-of-a-kind artwork. This personalized touch establishes a deeper connection with the art, as collectors will own not just a book but a unique piece of Aoyama's vision.

Aoyama expresses his excitement for this project, saying, "When the idea of creating a 50cm x 50cm oversized art book was suggested, I knew I had to pursue it! The large format allows the viewer to experience the vividness and details found only in the original works. This book is a reflection of my life and artistic journey, encapsulated within its pages. I hope readers take the time to study the intricate details of my work."

The printing quality is unparalleled, managed by the renowned travel press company, Sanm Color in Kyoto, ensuring a vivid representation of Aoyama's colorful world. The book's assembly will be carried out by skilled craftsmen from Eikyudo, known for their expertise in advanced binding techniques, enhancing the overall durability and aesthetic appeal of each collection.

Eikyudo, under the leadership of president Takeyuki Sato, has conceptualized this project with an aim to broaden the possibilities of artisan paper books. Their commitment to maintain high-quality standards and collaboration with artists made the realization of Aoyama's monumental collection possible. This collection includes not only iconic works that are currently in private ownership but also covers the entire span of Aoyama's artistic development, allowing fans to experience his creations in the comfort of their own homes.

About Tetsushi Aoyama

Born on October 8, 1971, in Kariya, Aichi Prefecture, Aoyama's journey into the art world was shaped by personal challenges, including the loss of his father when he was eight years old. This influenced his artistic inspiration heavily, culminating in a commitment to become an artist by age 50, honoring his father's dream.

After a transformative exploration in America at age 24, Aoyama successfully opened an original accessory shop, eventually evolving into a popular brand embraced by various celebrities. It wasn't until he turned 42 that he decided to shift his focus entirely to art, pursuing this passion with a fervor that has led to numerous exhibitions and collaborations since 2019.

In essence, Tetsushi Aoyama's "LOVE & PEACE" collection not only represents a significant milestone in his career but also serves as an emblematic exploration of his life, intertwining personal and artistic narratives into a single, gorgeous collection.
