NOTES

This electrifying work takes on the iconography of Pharrell’s signature Millionaire sunglasses—rendered in Shohei’s unmistakably bold and tactile style. The super-chunky frame is so exaggerated it spills beyond the bounds of the canvas, becoming a sculptural object in itself. The gold detailing is impossibly intricate, inviting the viewer to get lost in its ornate surface. This painting isn’t just a portrait of an object—it’s a maximalist tribute to individuality and ornamentation. The work was created in honor of the Louis Vuitton Men's Fall-Winter 2025 collection between Pharrell Williams and Nigo.

Shohei Ochiai is a Japanese artist known for his vivid, textural interpretations of everyday objects. He graduated from the Product Design Department at Tama Art University, where he developed his signature visual language—marked by bold, expressive lines, sculptural depth, and dynamic, often unpredictable forms. Working primarily in painting and drawing, Shohei transforms mundane items into charged, larger-than-life portraits.
