Yasuhiko Hayashi and Yusuke Nakano

Blue lines covering everything from the floor to the walls and all over the ceiling. If you look close enough at these gigantic blue roots, you realize that it’s all made of plastic rails, more precisely, of blue plastic toy rails we used to play with as kids! And if you look at the patterns longer, you recognize model stations and mountains alongside the rail tracks – one big diorama.

You’d eventually find a pinhole-sized goat on top of the model mountain! Para model are Yasuhiko Hayashi and Yusuke Nakano, an artist duo from Eastern Osaka, and they unfold such 3D, graffiti-like patterns on any surface: not only on the white walls of a gallery or the floors of a back-street factory, they extend their hap tic art all over a Japanese onsen tub and don’t stop with even covering the water surface of a pond.

They started their production of animation works, paintings, installation and photography and combining these media with their main theme of "paradisiacal diorama," they fill in and interventions the space with the mixed media artworks. Paramodel will also participate in the exhibition which is featuring around 20 young contemporary artists in Akasaka Sacasu area, titled "Akasaka Art Flower 2008" in parallel to the exhibition held at TWS Shibuya.
