THE ARTWORK

Tomoko Nagao - Narcissus

Characters from Tomoko Nagao's Vectorial Art series are surely the most charateristic of her art; she manages to be very innovative thanks to this advanced technique. The softwares used allow her to obtain a very high print quality and thanks to this she can transfer the same artpiece on every kind of support, making it bigger or smaller with no limits. Italian and european art history most famous icons are read back by the artist in a kawaii key - as the japan tradition where she comes from says - but at the same time in a Pop key too, by inserting oriental and occidental brands. In this way, the artist smartly criticises today's mass society and also links her own art to Andy Warhol'a one.
Tomoko Nagao has a particular relationship with Caravaggio's works and inthis case she proposes a differently viewed "Narcissus", emphasizing the concept of vanity, the narcisism of packaging-porn, obtaining a balanced composition in which classic art and MicroPop coexist.

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 Station PSP. 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.
