Works at a glance
Ghaku Okazaki’s works portray a positive assertion of our diversity and the harmony and unity between people. He creates works with figures with rainbow-coloured skin tones in a paradise-like botanical atmosphere that embodies the variety and unity of different ethnicities, origins and gender identities. Whether as large-format murals, colourful sculptures in the public space, murals or installations, Okazaki’s works portray a future vision of a world in which diversity is not denied, but instead asserted and celebrated with lots of colour in paradise-like nature.
