Seven Important Contemporary Japanese Artists
February 12, 2010
The Exhibit hosted by the Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti (January 14-February 14, 2010), features original works by seven important contemporary Japanese artists: ABe Yoshitoshi, Kugatsuhime, Kugatsuhime, Takada Akemi, Takada Minae, Terada Katsuya, Tsukishiro Yûko, Yamada Akihiro.
See other illustrations and read about the artists on Japanese Graphics Exhibitions.
From the above i only knew Takada Akemi and Abe Yoshitoshi. Oh, Akemi-sensei is one of my favourites! So smooth lines and dreamy colours! She really carries you to fantasyland. Abe-sensei is unique yet I can’t say I’m very fond of his designs. They emit some particular eeriness, not horror-like, but still eeriness.
Takada Minae is pretty as well. I found her not as good as Akemi-sensei, though her mermaids are very beautiful indeed.
Oh I forgot. please can you find galleries to link us to those artists’ works? Tsukishiro yuuko seems interesting as well.
Under each image I posted, you can find a link to either an artist website or a wiki article. Also I posted the links to their mini-galleries and descriptions on the exhibition website
Abe and Takada are my favorites from this group
Woah, pretty. I think Kugatsuhime and ABe Yoshitoshi are my favorites.
Kugatsuhime has an interesting style with solid even lines, yet her presentation turns out soft due to good use of color
Stunning works! I particularly like the drawings by ABe Yoshitoshi and Terada Katsuya
Yes, Katsuya’s works feature interesting designs
