You may not be familiar with the name but perhaps you’ve seen their work? Kigi is the design agency of Ryosuke Uehara and Yoshie Watanabe, the creative duo behind the D-Bros label, as well as many other projects. One of their ongoing creative series is a body of work titled “Implosion – Explosion.” Deconstructing an image into numerous colors and dots (an implosion), it’s then put back together using polka dot stickers. The resulting image has an explosive, barely-recognizable quality to it that emerges only from the broadest view.
If you like this style be sure to check out Yukino Ohmura’s cityscapes of Tokyo made from stickers.
