THE ARTWORK

Tomoko Nagao - Las Meninas

The Vectorial Art is the most contemporary and most reproducible technique: it is a practice used by engineers, architects and graphic designer, exploiting the most advanced softwares of computer graphics; the image is composed from geometric forms, lines, sting, curves, filled with the colors producing then the vectorial images. The concept of reproducibility is present for a long time in the Pop Japanese Art, with the goal to make the art accessible to everybody. The high quality that this technique guarantees allows Tomoko Nagao to elaborate again the most known works of the history of the art inserting oriental and western brand realizing an allegory of the society of the consumption of mass. In "Las Meninas", interpretation of the masterpiece of Velazquez, the Japanese artist crowds the scene of Coke cans, pouches of Zara, a Sony PSP and wrappings of noodles, while on the background are visible some her works, framed and suspended to the wall.

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.
