About the Item

Acrylic on canvas Okumura Aka ( Japan ) Aka Okumura explores the spiritual aspect of life and death by contrasting the two different worlds through vibrant symbols and black background. Amid of the threat of breaking wars in the different corners of the world, life threating disaster caused by the climate change, the level of anxiety in the post pandemic era have profoundly impacted the art of Aka Okumura. The fear over unpredictable and premature death that could come to anybody at any time is the subject that is deluded by the cute girl character and vibrant colors and abundance of ukiyoe inspired patterns. She paints the world of death on a black background, the world of life that sparkles inside, by creating a girl as an icon that mediates the two worlds. Okumura’s work reinterprets death as a natural cycle of life and a rebirth by depicting the existence of an immortal girl in a world that continues to evolve in the cycle of life and death. The beauty of Aka Okumura’s art lies in a distinct blend of traditional Japanese visual elements and cultural influences with a modern, pop-culture influenced aesthetic. She appropriates traditional Japanese imagery from Ukiyo-e prints, the genre of Japanese art that flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. Ukiyo-e prints often describes subjects such as female beauties, kabuki actors, geisha, flora, and erotica. The girl, the goddess situated in the middle of Aka Okumura work is enclosed by huge arching waves that featured in the “Mount Fuji” : The Great Wave off the Coast of Kanagawa, woodblock print by Katsushika Hokusai. Aka Okumura takes existing images traditional Japanese art elements and transform them into contemporary graphic. This adds a touch of familiarity to her work.
