Takato Yamamoto

Heisei Esthiticism Jan 25, 2008 at 01:21
Takato Yamamoto has an excellent name. He also draws quite spectacular pictures. And while some are a little violent, gory, and borderline scary; he manages to make them quite beautiful.

He's been around for a while (he had his first exhibition in 1998) and he's all over the internet. He completed painting at Tokyo Zokei University, and then played around with the Ukiyo-e Pop style, which led him to his own genre; Heisei Esthiticism. Woking mostly with litho printing and Japanese ink on paper, Yamamoto's works are definitely worth a look.

But if you're a little queasy when it comes to violence, blood, or bondage; consider this a warning.
