Artwork location: France

This artwork stands majestically on its black base, evoking a presence that is both futuristic and timeless. The sculpture, made of a silvery, reflective material, captures and plays with light in a hypnotic way. The smooth, shiny surface gives the piece a decidedly modern look, while emphasizing the elegance of the lines and curves of the humanoid silhouette. The artist has meticulously created every detail, from the sharp contours to the balanced posture, imbued with grace and symmetry. This installation is not only a representation of the human form, but also an exploration of the relationship between man and machine, suggesting a harmonious union between technology and aesthetics. By choosing a conical base, the artist accentuates the staging effect, isolating the sculpture and presenting it as a contemporary icon in an almost museum-like space. This black pedestal offers a striking contrast with the chrome body, thus accentuating the sophistication and purity of the form. This piece transcends the simple decorative object, becoming a reflection on identity and evolution in an increasingly technological world. It invites the viewer to contemplate not only its visual beauty but also the profound philosophical implications it embodies.

Presentation

Hajime Sorayama, born on February 22, 1947, in Imabari, Ehime Prefecture, Japan, is a globally acclaimed illustrator recognized for his hyper-realistic, airbrushed depictions of humanoid robots. His signature "Sexy Robot" series, introduced in 1983, redefined cybernetic art by blending sensuality with futuristic design. These chrome-plated, hyper-detailed robotic figures have become some of the most sought-after works in contemporary art, with auction prices exceeding $500,000. Sorayama's art bridges fine art, science fiction, and pop culture, influencing Hollywood, luxury fashion, and advanced technology.

In September 2024, Sorayama unveiled Space Traveler, a monumental 13-foot stainless steel sculpture in Shanghai's Pudong New District. This large-scale public installation features one of his signature femme bots, suspended mid-air against a concave reflective wall that mirrors its surroundings. The piece explores themes of AI surpassing human limitations and the fusion of technology with organic beauty. On view until November 6, 2024, Space Traveler attracted global attention and reinforced Sorayama's position as a pioneer in futuristic and cybernetic art.

Beyond illustration, Sorayama has collaborated with leading fashion designers, including Thierry Mugler and Dior, expanding his artistic vision into wearable art, sculpture, and performance. His collaborations with high-end brands such as Stüssy and Nike have further cemented his influence in luxury fashion. Looking ahead to 2025, he is rumored to be working on a high-profile automotive collaboration, integrating his signature robotic style into vehicle design. His artworks remain in high demand in major galleries, with upcoming exhibitions planned in New York, Tokyo, and London.

His artistic journey began in advertising before he transitioned into Hollywood as a freelance illustrator, contributing to science fiction films. His breakthrough came in 1995 when Penthouse magazine featured his work in a recurring monthly column, further solidifying his reputation. Despite his niche appeal, Sorayama has achieved mainstream success, notably collaborating with Sony in 1999 to design the first concept for AIBO, the world's first robotic pet, which won Japan's prestigious Good Design Grand Prize. His work has also influenced major cultural productions, including the 2015 sci-fi film Ex Machina, which drew inspiration from his aesthetic vision.

With his meticulous attention to detail and his exploration of the intersection between humanity and technology, Sorayama continues to shape the future of contemporary art. His ability to merge hyperrealism with futuristic aesthetics ensures his work remains at the forefront of visual culture, inspiring generations of artists, designers, and filmmakers worldwide.
