Her brush strokes are so clean and colors consistant which, from my experience, is no easy task when working with acrylic. The fact that Yumiko uses the same three elements in all of her work is interesting and I want to see her other works.Salinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06513418710033754794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124378925641768768.post-31018340889942446822011-02-08T11:08:47.592-08:002011-02-08T11:08:47.592-08:00I really like how clean it looks, and even if her ...I really like how clean it looks, and even if her style is more simple she is definitely not lacking in skill. I also like the other visual elements she included in this piece--the monkey, the circles with patterns/flowers in them, etc. Also, looking at the piece, I would not guess that it's a large acrylic painting; it looks more like a piece done digitally.Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15065119494041793976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124378925641768768.post-76197414431897365282011-02-08T10:14:08.829-08:002011-02-08T10:14:08.829-08:00I think the bold, flat colors make this piece stan...I think the bold, flat colors make this piece stand out all the more. The color is vibrant and intense to me, looking like the girl has jsut had some wild night or something. I also like the fact that the artist can use some unchanging elements into entirely different pieces and still be creative. I will definitely be looking into more of Yumiko's work.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11549063863004362578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124378925641768768.post-45940360048420417392011-02-06T12:58:00.538-08:002011-02-06T12:58:00.538-08:00I think I've seen her works at either Art Chic...I think I've seen her works at either Art Chicago or NEXT last year. Cannot say I'm overly impressed: sure the artist's technical skills are rock-solid, but her compositions (I went to her site) are way too busy and lacking in visual contrast for my tastes.<br /><br />Just not my thing, I suppose.Vadim Flakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01241174148157889176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3124378925641768768.post-89490848622725597272011-02-06T11:05:39.955-08:002011-02-06T11:05:39.955-08:00This piece is really reminiscent of Japanese woodb...This piece is really reminiscent of Japanese woodblock prints, and that's what I thought it was at first. It's really interesting how this artist takes a style that's usually meant for small-scale pieces and uses it in a large format. Good choice, I really like this!Olga K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04717009635634161938noreply@blogger.com
