    Hajime Sorayama | Sexy Robot Space Traveler 1/6 Scale, 2023

    Est: RM12,000 - RM22,000

    Hajime Sorayama is the Japanese illustrator who, more than anyone, invented the image of the chrome female robot now everywhere in film and fashion. He painted his first one in 1978, after a client asked for a figure resembling Star Wars' C-3PO without infringing the copyright. He has been candid that rendering the female nude in chrome was partly a workaround for Japan's obscenity laws: as bare skin it counted as pornography, as polished metal it counted as futuristic art. Outside his own work, he designed Sony's AIBO robot dog, now held by MoMA and the Smithsonian. This is that lifelong figure cast as a sculpture, at one-sixth scale, mirror-polished so it reflects whatever stands in front of it. Sorayama has spent nearly fifty years refining the same image, including through collaborations with Dior and KAWS.

    Hajime Sorayama is a renowned Japanese artist and illustrator, celebrated for his hyper‑realistic portrayals of humanoid robots and biomechanical forms, most notably his iconic Sexy Robot series. Beginning with his first robot illustration in 1978, Sorayama established his signature theme on futuristic, metallic figures. He is renowned for his mesmerising chrome‑plated female robots and gynoids that merge human and machine elements. His artwork has been featured in international galleries and museums, including exhibitions like Unorthodox in New York and The Universe and Art at Tokyo's Mori Art Museum. His recent retrospective Light, Reflection, Transparency at the Nanzuka Art Institute in Shanghai and Tokyo (2025), have traced his extensive career across various mediums. Shenzen Museum of Contemporary Art and Urban Planning also featured his solo exhibition in 2025.
