#GuestWriterReview (CN) Yage Guo: <喷枪魅影：ペーター佐藤的幻想世界> (Airbrush Phantoms: Inside the Fantasy World of Pater Sato) in Chinese

We recently commissioned Yage to write about the 20th-century Japanese artist #PaterSato, opening up Library Mothership’s rare book collection to her for research and reference. A little magic happened along the way, and the result is her gorgeous and ambitious essay, Airbrush Phantoms: Inside the Fantasy World of Pater Sato (《喷枪魅影：Pater Sato 的幻想世界》).

最近，我们邀请 Yage 以20世纪日本艺术家 #PaterSato 为主题撰写一篇文章，并向她开放了 Library Mothership 的珍稀书籍馆藏，供其研究与参考。在这段创作旅程中，一些奇妙的化学反应悄然发生，最终诞生了这篇精彩而富有野心的长文——《喷枪魅影：Pater Sato 的幻想世界》。

Yage 分别以中英文创作了这篇文章。中文版现已在Substack 上发布，欢迎阅读！链接见主页 🔗

BIO
Yage Guo 是一位常驻伦敦的画家。她经常被问到：你作品中那些雌雄莫辨的人物究竟是谁？事实上，他们是一场持续不断的想象之旅中诞生的旅人。
对 Yage 而言，绘画是一种蜕变的行为。有时，她是魔术师（The Magician），用画笔凭空变幻出奇异的生灵；有时，她是愚者（The Fool），满怀好奇地踏入未知，沿途采集神话、隐喻与转瞬即逝的片刻；另一些时候，她又化身倒吊人（The Hanged Man），以一种颠倒的、极为私密的视角观察世界。她将这些沿途拾得的碎片交织在一起，创造出游离于性别界限之外、难以捉摸的人物形象，使他们处于一种微妙的平衡之中。
她的创作核心，是对线条近乎痴迷的执着。深受中国书法与黑白漫画的影响，Yage 相信，一笔一画之中自有乾坤：创作者的性格、情感的表达，以及时间凝结的痕迹，都蕴藏其中。对她而言，无论是人物，还是任何引人入胜的事物，都可以成为线条的载体，承载着线条深处丰富的层次与回响。

#GuestWriterReview Yage Guo: < Airbrush Phantoms: Inside the Fantasy World of Pater Sato> (喷枪魅影：ペーター佐藤的幻想世界)
💭
Library Mothership has long been an admirer of London-based painter Yage Guo (@yagefg) , whose paintings and illustrations conjure a fantastical world of capricious, androgynous figures.

We recently commissioned Yage to write about the 20th-century Japanese artist #PaterSato, opening up Library Mothership’s rare book collection to her for research and reference. A little magic happened along the way, and the result is her gorgeous and ambitious essay, Airbrush Phantoms: Inside the Fantasy World of Pater Sato (《喷枪魅影：Pater Sato 的幻想世界》).
Yage wrote the essay in English and Chinese simultaneously. Read the English version now on our Substack! The Chinese version will be published this Thursday. Link in bio 🔗
💭
In an era of hyper-saturated, image-bombarded digital feeds, what happens when we open a Pater Sato art book and meet the gaze of his androgynous characters? They are daring, captivating, refuse to pander or be touched. Tracing Sato’s fleeting airbrush artwork and his mysterious characters, contemporary artist Yage casts a deeply affectionate retrospective on retro-futurism.
💭
在当下这个图像爆炸、视觉高度饱和的数字时代，当我们重新翻开 Pater Sato 的画册，与他笔下的中性魅影对视时，究竟可以看到什么？她们危险、迷人，拒绝谄媚和被触碰。作为一名当代艺术家，雅格试图循着Pater Sato 充满呼吸感的作画方式与神秘的人物形象，对复古未来主义进行一场深情回望。

Summer Ripples

2026.07.18 - 2026.08.22

While ripples expand outward ring by ring, they also settle inward little by little, following a steady inner rhythm. Wind and rain are unpredictable, yet every ripple rises from the water and eventually dissolves back into it.

Every artist’s work originates from their inner experience and unique way of seeing. Looking at these artworks is like watching ripples by the shore. Only by observing slowly can you perceive the flowing rhythm behind creation, and the unshakable core within every piece.

‘How light the raindrop‘s contents are.
How gently the world touches me.
Whenever wherever whatever has happened
is written on the waters of Babel.’
