Oh, to have been in Tokyo in June! Shintaro Ohata just finished up a
solo exhibition at the Yukari Art Contemprary in Tokyo, Japan. This
Hiroshima, Japan-born artist is known for his ability to show us
everyday life in a cinematic way. He captures light in his paintings,
showering the world, as we know it, with carefully placed strokes of it.
"Every ordinary scenery in our daily lives, such as the rising sun, the
beauty of a sunset or a glittering road paved with asphalt on a rainy
night, becomes something irreplaceable if we think we wouldn’t be able
to see them anymore," he told
Yukari gallery. "I am creating works to capture lights in our everyday life and record them in the painting.”
More than that, this artist has a unique style. He places sculptures in front of paintings! Combining 2D with 3D, he's an emerging young artist who's definitely one to watch.
Straight from the Yukari gallery, here's a sample of his stellar work.
