When my best friend was hospitalised he told me he might not live that long, I was secretly crying a lot. Then I tried using an app to make his photo become an old person and I realised how wonderful it is for everyone to live long and get old. When I thought more about BlackLivesMatter issue, I wonder how the world would be more peaceful if everyone could continue to hug each other, without the colour issue and grow old together. (My best friend is now safe and sounds by the way).
Acrylic on clear vinyl sheet + Digital Painting on ProCreate.
What 2020 have taught us would probably be how meaningful hugging is to us all. Throughout 2020 everyone is either physically far away from love ones, or doing the best to practice social distancing, we all are longing for a good warm hug. Until the day we could hug returns, I would like to portrait the happy and colourful celebration of hugs through my artworks. As I wish to turn a virtual hug into reality, I created digital illustrations first then make them into a real tangible artwork afterward as a symbolic of hope. The digital works are now minted as NFTs while the analog works will be there waiting to be exhibited in Japan as soon as we can travel abroad again.
Technique : Acrylic on clear vinyl sheet + Digital painting on ProCreate
Note : This artwork series won UNKNOWN/ASIA ART EXCHANGE OSAKA's sponsor's award and reviewer's award in 2020. The work "Group Hug" has been longlisted for The World Illustration Award 2021.
