Four Lineages.
The Hercules beetle, among the largest insects on earth. Upon each one, a single painting is laid but once — never to be repeated. Every specimen artwork carries a Certificate of Authenticity and its own serial, delivered as one of a kind.
POP
The first encounter — geometry and colour that release the beetle into contemporary art.
Four Seasons
Cherry, hydrangea, maple, snow — the turning of the Japanese seasons, held upon a single beetle’s back.
Masterpiece
Months from conception to final stroke — the summit of the collection.
Size Record Series
A special tier, given only to exceptional large specimens.
About this series Works appear here as qualifying specimens are completed. Only exceptional large individuals are chosen. The qualifying minimum is set according to production capacity at the time and cannot be guaranteed in advance.
A Certificate of Authenticity, and a serial that exists but once.
We never kill for art.
The origin of each beetle is recorded; each is honoured, and given a second life as art.
