You read in doodles the automatic writing from daydreams. That is to be the philosophy behind Akira Horikawa’s 1000Drawing Project. For five years Horikawa’s regimen of drawing out daily impressions, oneiro-ventures, chances encounters have reaped a thousand images of the funhouse delirium. Fantastic, erotic, and sometimes eerie, with blank-eyed humans stacked and arranged like board game pieces, his drawings form a visually rich compendium of the NY psyche, seeming both feverishly escapist yet urbane in their frenetic decadence. In many ways, a foreigner’s perspective on the US.
