Inagaki is a Japanese street/contemporary artist based in London. Born in a prefecture near Tokyo, he belongs to Generation Z and was heavily influenced by the homogenization of culture in the super-information society, which both he and his work represent.

 

During his teenage years, he immersed himself in graffiti culture  as a means of self-discovery. However, he soon realized that his true passion lay in creative expression rather than acts of vandalism.

Consequently, he embarked on a career as a self-taught street/contemporary artist, shaping his artistic practice. "Even graffiti was not my place."

 

The figures in his work predominantly don black attire and exist within a minimalist palette of off-white. His Japanese cultural upbringing isintentionally concealed, highlighting the theme of disassociation andfade from culture and the disappearance of affiliations.

 

Through his work, Inagaki endeavors to capture the essence of contemporary life, portraying over-edited and distorted spaces alongside the individuals who inhabit them. He explores how thedigital native generation navigates the challenges posed by the information society.
