A mysterious life form that is born in Harajuku, Tokyo.
It is a strange creature by the name of SKOLOCT!
He has big ears to listen to the sincere words,
Google eyes to recognize the world for what it is,
A wide mouth to pack everything away, and three mighty claws to rip the fakes into shreds.
SKOLOCT has seen many things in the world of humans.
Things such as bright spots, pathetic sights, happy occasions,
and things flare-up!
Beautiful things, unfair and nasty things, rightful cause, wrongdoing and none of those matters.
Humans are complex creatures.
SKOLOCT started out on a journey.
On days of rain, shine, clouds and snow.
Toddling along his long, long way.
He is on the journey to find “the truth”.
Walking on a globe, SKOLOCT travels across many countries and leave its mark all around the world.
But not everybody can meet SKOLOCT.
SKOLOCT only pops up alongside of “travelers” searching for “the truth”.
Sharpen your senses and you’ll feel SKOLOCT right beside you.

        SEVENTY FOUR     NGAP

ペンキ屋での修行後、９０年代初頭から火がついた原宿ムーヴメントの中で ひときわ強い個性とクリエイティブセンスを駆使しながら、 アクションペイントというスタイルを確立し、 あらゆる店舗のデザイン／施行を行い、 また等身大トートバッグや革製段ボール型クッションといった 生活の中に溶け込むユーモアと毒を併せ持ったプロダクトも日々制作中。 また、自身のアパレルブランドでの卓越したデザインや、 SKOLOCTというアート活動にいたるまで、 彼の創造力は一つのジャンルに縛られることは決してない。 その自由な作風に多くのクリエーターが共感し、 刺激を受け、NGAPにしか実現出来ないコラボレーションを生み出している。

After trained at a paint shop, his one and only character, and strong sense of creativity made him build his style as "action painting" during Harajuku "street culture" movement in early 90's. Besides shop designing and constructing works, his creation expands to produce witty products such as a life-size tote bag and a leather cardboard-box-shaped cushion. From his own clothing line to artist activity as SKOLOCT, his creativity has no limits. Many artists and creative are inspired by his style and collaborate to create one-of-a-kind items for NGAP.
