Yoshiaki Ishikawa (Marty) | イシカワ・ヨシアキ氏


Yoshiaki Ishikawa (’Marty’, 1973), is a young and upcoming Japanese photographer with a laborious technique. His photographs are a reflection of his own world. First he makes a photograph in nature with a digital camera, then he paints an image of it. Finally he incorporates these various images into a new entity.

Avant-garde Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama was an influential figure in the postwar New York art scene, staging provocative happenings and exhibiting works such as her “Infinity Nets”, hallucinatory paintings of loops and dots (and physical representations of the idea of infinity).Narcissus Garden, an installation of hundreds of mirrored balls, earned Kusama notoriety at the 1966 Venice Biennale, where she attempted to sell the individual spheres to passersby. Kusama countedDonald Judd and Eva Hesse among her close friends, and is often considered an influence on Andy Warhol and a precursor to Pop art. Since her return to Japan in the 1970s, Kusama's work has continued to appeal to the imagination and the senses, including dizzying walk-in installations, public sculptures, and the "Dots Obsessions" paintings. txt & info Ota Fine Arts
