Hajime Sorayama's airbrush work will transport you right back to the 1980s. But for this exhibit titled “An actress is not a machine, but they treat you like a machine.” he melds 1980s aesthetics with 1950s pop culture by reinterpreting famous photos of Marilyn Monroe as his famous Sexy Robot character. The Nanzuka Gallery in Tokyo is hosting this solo exhibition, featuring both paintings and sculptures. Seeing Monroe through Sorayama's lens is both uncanny and stunning, and with each piece it's hard to get the titular quote out of your head. Check out the gallery to get your mind blown and click the source link for more photos.
