| E. J. Yoshioka | |
I was born in Gifu, Japan 1980. Both US and Japanese citizen, I grew up most of my life in Japan. |
|
| About the Artist | |
My art is about the co-existence of two very different cultures on a single dimension. I am an American and Japanese citizen, born and raised in Japan. My art reflects this mishmash of cultures that has been rooted deeply in my unconscious mind. My imagination is effected by how I directly identify with my heritage. The themes of my art consist of surreal fantastic elements in detail. Small stories underlie in each painting and drawing. Oil and acrylic have their own textures and vibrancy to me and this influences how I use colors in art. My hands are only a vessel in documenting my imagination. |
