<\/p>\n

Meguru Yamaguchi<\/a> recently launched a benefit auction with New York-based creative consulting agency, roosi, in support of Black Lives Matter. <\/p>\n

The celebrated Japanese artist is offering up an original, sculptural work entitled REVISUALIZE NO. 1<\/em> (2020) with all proceeds from the sale of this piece to go directly to the NAACP. The abstract artwork was made using the artist’s signature “Cut & Paste” technique — a method that involves painting on plastic sheets to dry, and then pasting them onto a three-dimensional surface to create dynamic forms. <\/p>\n

“I always aim to break the square canvas across my works, to go against what is traditional. This work, for me, reflects a breakthrough for justice that is desperately needed for Black people facing racism, police brutality, and government misconduct,” said Yamaguchi in a statement. <\/p>\n

The benefit auction is currently running until June 18. Place your bids on roosi’s official landing page for the sale here<\/a>. The current bid is currently at $13,400 USD. Shipping for the work will be free of charge.<\/p>\n

Other artists have also released original artworks and launched auctions<\/a> to stir up support with proceeds from their sales to benefit justice organizations. <\/p>\n
