This work is inspired by the masterpiece by Jacques-Louis David "Napoleon at the Saint-Bernard Pass" or "Napoleon crossing the Alps" (1801), demonstrates e declares all the admiration of David for Napoleon, for Tomoko the admiration is for french brands which have enchanted whole generations of Japanese people, girls above all, who aim to have a LV bag as a priority. A Fukushima nuclear reactor is also represented, as a warning of a disaster coming, considering the great amount of nuclear energy produced by France. Nowadays Godzilla's bridles are Louis Vuitton, with Napoleon conquering Tokyo. There's also the famous "Tokyo Tower", symbol of the megalopolis evidently copied by the Tour Eiffel. An impossible scene because Napoleon would never travel to Tokyo but made actual thanks to the commercial conquering of Japan by french brands. So Napoleon finds himself in Shibuya, new place for worldwide tourism and pulsing center of the most consumerism Tokyo instead of the Alps. The white horse of Napoleon is Godzilla, character taken from the first Seventies version in a perfect "Tokusatsu" style (animated puppets sometimes by an actor) which were the main characters of the great TV shows with Japanese monsters before the anime.
Tomoko Nagao: artworks and biography of the artist
Tomoko Nagao is one of the main contemporary artists of Micropop art. Born in 1976 in Nagoya, Japan, where she studied the stylised forms of Nara Yoshitomo and the Superflat style of Takashi Murakami. Today she is considered the most important exponent of Micropop and Superflat in Italy, where she now lives.
Tomoko draws inspiration from the works of Caravaggio, Velázquez, Tiziano, La Tour, Botticelli, Hokusaiand revisits them by presenting global brands such as Coca-Cola, iPad, Barilla, Play StationPSP. The adaptation of the classic paintings of the great masters by Tomoko Nagao is meant to be ironic towards the economic mechanisms of art, as it aims to bring Renaissance patrons, such as the Medici, and the creative directors of big brands onto the same level.
In this way, his works become a metaphor for globalisation, making them more "easy to read" thanks to the Japanese aesthetic concept of "Kawaii" that makes everything "cool". His production includes original paintings, stencils and vectorial art. She practices the Superflat style, the Japanese postmodern art movement founded by Takashi Murakami, which characterises her artistic production.
