"I drew a Japanese watch brand worn by Pharrell, representing the best of Japan. The dial subtly hints at Pharrell’s birthday." - Shohei Ochiai

NOTES:

In SUPER SHOCK, Shohei Ochiai reimagines the iconic G-Shock watch as an oversized emblem of durability and design. Towering vertically on canvas, the legendary timepiece is rendered in Shohei’s trademark hyper-textured, graphic style—everything articulated with obsessive care. 

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.
