RESOBOX 41-26 27th St. 718-784-3680 “Edo Pop: Modern Icons Meets An Ancient Art Form” Nov. 14 through Dec. 4 Opening Reception: Nov. 14 7-9PM This exhibit features ukiyo-e or Japanese woodblock prints depicting “modern video game heroes, lovingly depicted as handmade Japanese prints.” To celebrate Japan’s contribution to video games, illustrator Jed Henry has taken his favorite game characters, and returned them to the “ukiyo-e style.” Modern costuming has been traded for the medieval, but the essence of each character remains. With the help of Dave Bull, a craftsman trained in the art of Japanese woodblock printing, the illustrations are truly able to come to life, according to an exhibition overview. After Jed Henry designs each print, Dave Bull goes through preparing, carving the key block, carving the color blocks, and proof printing.
