About the Item

2011, Unique Artwork Oil on Canvas 47 1/5 × 47 1/5 in - 120 × 120 cm The artwork is dated and signed by the Artist & stamped with the logo of the Artist's studio on verso of the canvas The artwork come accompanied with a formal Certificate of Authenticity issued by the studio of the Artist and signed by the Artist serie "Ioam's Portrait Gallery : Wonderland Chronicles" In the enchanting realm of Ioam Yumako's artistic expression emerges a captivating canvas series titled "Ioam's Portrait Gallery: Wonderland Chronicles." This collection, a testament to Yumako's diverse influences, finds its roots not only in the whimsical world of Wonderland but also in his deep fascination with Japanese art and culture. Born in Szczecin Stettin, Poland, in 1977, Yumako's cultural journey began with his move to Germany in 1981. Growing up in this diverse environment, he developed an early admiration for Japanese culture, particularly manga and anime. This fascination, coupled with his exposure to Lewis Carroll's Wonderland tales, created a unique synergy that manifests in the Wonderland Chronicles. The series reflects Yumako's desire to meld two distinct cultural influences into a seamless narrative. Wonderland, with its fantastical characters and surreal landscapes, becomes a canvas upon which Yumako fuses the aesthetic allure of Japanese art. The iconic characters of Wonderland are not just subjects; they are conduits through which he channels the emotive depth and visual intricacies characteristic of Japanese artistic traditions. Yumako's exploration of Wonderland through the lens of Japanese art is a deliberate choice, showcasing his ability to transcend cultural boundaries and create a universal visual language. Each portrait in the series becomes a harmonious blend of Eastern and Western influences, a celebration of the interconnectedness of artistic traditions. The meticulous strokes that define Wonderland's characters are imbued with the finesse of Japanese artistic techniques. Yumako's admiration for the attention to detail in traditional Japanese art, whether in ukiyo-e woodblock prints or the delicate precision of calligraphy, resonates within each brushstroke. The Wonderland Chronicles thus become a canvas where East and West converge, creating a visual symphony that transcends cultural specificity. "Ioam's Portrait Gallery: Wonderland Chronicles" serves as a testament to Yumako's belief in the universality of art. The series invites viewers not only to rediscover the timeless magic of Wonderland but also to witness the seamless integration of Japanese aesthetics, fostering a cross-cultural dialogue within the whimsical narratives painted by Ioam Yumako's visionary brush.
