ther producys alongsi Poster promoting the Sakae Takahashi Exhibition from February to March, featuring a photograph of an assemblage depicting a two-headed deer. It can be inferred that the artwork photographed is by Sakae Takahashi, the exhibition whose namesake the poster is promoting.
Little is documented about the artist and exhibition itself, but the digital manipulation of this work to put it against a plain white background, and the seemingly digitally created and added poster information, shows the technological ability of Matsui at this point in time with the digital editing tools of that era.
Matsui is a member of the Tokyo Arts Club, Alliance Graphic internationale , and has won numerous awards for graphic design. In tandem with this, he has also worked internationally with companies such as Apple and exhibited his work in many countries all over the world. He is the artistic director and designer of art seeds studio, and a dean of the Osaka University of Arts Junior College. Matsui's work universally blends functionality and multi media, as his portfolio contains a multitude of works done in 3D modeling programs, traditional art, digital art programs, traditional and digital collages, lettering, and photography. It's due to the flexibility of Matsui that his work contains many interesting elements alongside a thorough understanding of shape and color. Alongside visual posters and designs, he also makes packaging designs for books and other products.
