"Leftover 3" comes from the artist's 2018 solo exhibition titled "Leftover" at the Tokyo Dai-ichi Life Gallery. Another diptych from the same series currently holds the artist's second-highest auction record. The artist depicts a banquet scene using a black-and-white monochromatic palette, with abundant items spread across a vast table. However, the few guests present create a stark contrast,enhancing the atmosphere of conflict. This work reveals to the audience the artist's background, influenced by Western classical culture, while also showcasing his ability to connect contemporary vocabulary with history to create new narratives.

As a shining new star in contemporary Japanese art,Yuichi Hirako has received numerous invitations for collaborations. The golden, vibrant forest imagery adorning the façade of the Hermès flagship store in Central Hong Kong for the 2023 Christmas lighting is a result of his collaborative design. This year, he also held an important solo exhibition titled "Ideal Landscape" at the Nagi Moca in Nagi Town, Okayama Prefecture, marking a significant return to his hometown after gaining recognition abroad.
