網紅的藏寶箱#TBT to working on this baby👶🏼 for my Asahi Art Museum show on view now in Japan!
I named my show after my painting "Catastrophe of Death and Regeneration" and it is the largest, most detailed work I have ever created. The entire piece is over 10 feet long and separated into 3 panels.
I wanted to create a summation of my work’s theme about life and death, featuring my recurring characters who don't have any official name, but I have personally nicknamed them as "Ami chan" and "Akuma kun". Ami is the magical girl heroine of my work based on the Amitābha a celestial buddha, and Akuma is a little boy hero who sometimes dresses as a bear. The composition is inspired by the famous "The Creation of Adam" fresco by Michelangelo.
