At the end of the rainbow (and the final day of the flag installation 2025-26 Kunsthal Aarhus🌈) - an homage to Ay-O’s numerous ‘rainbow happenings’ that he staged throughout his long career, among others in Paris in 1987 when a 300m long rainbow flag was extended from the top of the Eiffel Tower. It’s the final day to enjoy our less nerve wrecking - yet colourful - flag ‘happening’ in the sculpture park Kunsthal Aarhus.

Along with other artists of his generation, including Yayoi Kusama (b. 1929) and Yoko Ono (b. 1933), Ay-O is redefining what it means to be old, yet still active and relevant in Japan’s super-aged society, which today has more than 95.000 centenarians.

The limited edition Rainbow Vulcano t-shirts based on Ay-O’s work from 1974 and printed by Ice Screen Printing are for sale via !

🔩”Projet Maurice” underway 🔩

Architect, designer, artist, inventor, car collector - not to mention comedian/ entertainer (especially during lunch). That is the one and only .
Born in 1935, Maurice stands as one of the last powerhouse creatives of his generation, still working from his studio in the 14th arrondissement - where he met people like Man Ray, Léonard Foujita, Paco Rabanne and Jean Paul Belmondo back in the days (one of his cars was even featured in À bout de Souffle, the final scene filmed in his street - but that’s just a minor ‘detail’). Maurice’s life-long professional oeuvre, collaborations and friendships encapsulate an almost extinct world in need of preservation. More to come !

“I am trying to express the sufferings of society, of man, of mankind, of all living beings. I am not too certain of my results: perhaps in the end I have produced mere ‘prints’. - Kinosh*ta Tomio, 1962

Originally an oil painter, Kinosh*ta Tomio was self-taught in printmaking, which he started in 1955, inspired by the work of the influential sōsaku hanga artist Hiratsuka Un’ichi. Having learned seal carving from his wife, carving became Kinosh*ta’s favourite part of the process of creating a print. Kinosh*ta’s technique and approach as a craftsman became his trademark, as observed by Gaston Petit and Amadio Arboleda in their book Evolving Techniques in Japanese Woodblock Prints (1977): ‘Kinosh*ta Tomio creates a terrific impact in his works using a U-shaped gouge to produce lines in parallel.’ Seemingly leaning away from the Japanese tradition, Kinosh*ta’s carving style was closer to that of European Old Masters like Lucas Cranach the Elder (c. 1472–1553) and Albrecht Dürer (1471–1528) in the ‘methods of varying the width of lines in order to create depth and dimension’.

Ay-O (b. 1931), who became part of the experimental Fluxus Movement in the 1960s, gained international acclaim and became known as the ‘Rainbow Artist’ when he represented Japan at the Venice Biennale in 1966 and again at the Osaka Expo in 1970.
