Discover the visual world of Hiroshi Hayakawa in this new collectible art book published by The Guide Artists.
Featuring a carefully curated selection of works created between 2012 and 2026, the publication traces more than a decade of artistic exploration across drawing, painting, sculpture, alternative photography, and paper-based works.
Born and raised in Japan, Hayakawa studied French Literature at Keio University before moving to the United States in 1991 to pursue a life in art. He later earned a BFA from Columbus College of Art and Design and an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art. Today, he teaches at CCAD and exhibits internationally.
At the heart of the book is his acclaimed Vanitas series, a powerful meditation on mortality, impermanence, beauty, and decay. Through intricate lines, organic structures, and symbolic forms, Hayakawa creates images that are both delicate and unsettling.
Beautifully designed and made to be treasured, this collectible edition is an essential addition for art lovers, collectors, curators, and admirers of meticulous, thought-provoking work.

Brett Andrus: Love letters to the ghosts in my blood
This international monograph brings together a selection of key works by Colorado-born figurative painter Brett Andrus, whose practice explores memory, vulnerability, transformation, and psychological tension.
Blending traditional figurative painting with magical realism, symbolism, and surreal atmosphere, Andrus creates ambiguous worlds where the familiar and the uncanny coexist.
The book also offers an intimate insight into the personal experiences that transformed his relationship with painting. Following a battle with leukemia and complications that nearly cost him his eyesight, Andrus returned to the studio with a renewed sense of gratitude and purpose.
Featuring selected works and personal reflections, this monograph presents the artistic journey of a painter whose work is defined by resilience, emotional depth, and the transformative power of painting.

This book presents a selection of paintings by Polish artist Kamila Gruszecka, whose work explores identity, memory, womanhood, and the emotional experiences that shape our lives. Through intimate and poetic compositions, she invites viewers into a world where symbolism and personal experience merge, transforming everyday moments into reflections on human existence.
The women who inhabit these pages are not portraits of specific individuals but emotional landscapes, carrying stories of love, loss, transformation, and self-discovery. Each painting becomes an invitation to pause, contemplate, and connect with the universal questions that define who we are.
More than a collection of artworks, this book is a journey through the inner world of an artist who understands painting as an act of searching, where every answer gives rise to new questions and every image preserves a fragment of human experience.

Mari Shimizu — Passion of the Mimic Girls
Passion of the Mimic Girls is an international monograph dedicated to Japanese doll artist Mari Shimizu, whose distinctive practice explores the beauty, mystery, and emotional presence of ball-jointed dolls and experimental doll-like objects.
Originally from Amakusa, Kumamoto, Shimizu graduated from Tama Art University and has developed a unique artistic language that extends far beyond conventional doll making. Her work has appeared in music, film, television, theater, fashion, and contemporary art, establishing her as one of Japan’s most distinctive and internationally recognized doll artists.
Her dolls have been exhibited across Japan and internationally, including in Italy, France, the United States, Azerbaijan, Taiwan, South Korea, and Germany. She has also collaborated with artists, filmmakers, fashion designers, galleries, and cultural institutions throughout her career.
From her long-standing collaboration with the band MUCC to her work for Alice in Dreamland, exhibitions at the Yokohama Doll Museum, and appearances in international art and design publications, Shimizu’s practice continuously crosses the boundaries between sculpture, photography, performance, and popular culture.
Passion of the Mimic Girls brings together a selection of her remarkable creations, offering an intimate portrait of an artist whose dolls exist somewhere between the familiar and the uncanny, the beautiful and the mysterious.
Published internationally by The Guide Artists.
