 Yoshitaka Amano - Reviews: New York ArtForum - Find Articles
Amano originally developed his highly stylized imagery in the service of manga and video-game design, but its influence today is unarguably visible in the "Superflat" cosmos of Takashi Murakami, Mariko Mon, and a handful of other Japanese artists who have lately risen to international stardom.
Amano uses automobile lacquer to achieve an intense, even color and wraps the skin-thin image around the edges of the aluminum support.
Amano's attempt to fuse past, present, and future is at its most explicit here, and despite the project's self-conscious artfulness, the results are surprisingly fresh.
