I feel like AW2000 “Melting Pot” and a lot of other collections from the pre 2000s definitely fit within this perspective of his surrealist inspiration, i’ve always considered him to be heavily driven by fantasy, movies and music. even the spring 2004 distorted twin collection. pretty cool perspective
Great video! I think that (while yes surrealist tendencies are clearly here) he goes a bit dada sometimes, even some influences of fluxus, and that these things go hand in hand. I still have his work connected to the music he listens to and that is why part of his work is somewhat slightly visually connected to raf simons to me (inspiration by the same music bands and pop culture moments). Some of the painting you have shown are portraits of well known musicians (Ian Curtis etc.). The beauty of surrealism is that it is still alive art style, there are still alive surrealists that worked in the 50s and 60s and there are new generations to keep it alive still. Jun Takahashi has a thing for the uncanny and dreamlike which makes the twin peaks collection (while i wasnt too keen on this one) ideal for undercover brand.
damn great points! and yea I do think Jun's connection with music is undeniable, it's just sometimes the influence is a bit too ingrained into his mode of operations that it might not be the easiest thing to spot. I love how you connection Jun with Raf as well, cuz now that you mention it, although they have different ways of creating, I can draw parallel with the artistic cadence.

he definitely would love for everyone to watch this vid. Had no idea he made paintings, they’re beautiful too
The unknown man without eyes with the John Lydon quote is Lydon from the early PiL era. Or at least heavily inspired by him.
Great video!
