Japanese artist Ukiyoemon Mitomoya continues the ukiyo-e tradition with contemporary and political reflections, his works commenting on anything from white-collar life in Japan to Brexit. The result moves between the humorous and satirical to the enlightening, offering a different scope and perspective on the issues of the day.
“Most of his works are based on the various aspects of life and satirical events,” JPS Gallery says. “The series about office workers he created depict the bitterness the working class suffers in a humorous way. In addition to his focus on the art of painting, Ukiyoemon is also a famous designer who has worked with many world-renowned companies, including Paris Saint-Germain FC. He inherits the ukiyo-e culture by integrating it into modern life, making this traditional culture more interesting and easier to understand.”
Travel to a time where humans prevail in all their primeval glory in Attaboy's new show at The Compound Gallery. This body of work includes the buzzed-about rock paintings on rocks, adding to the meta-nature of the new show that seems to be extracted from animation. Is this place the fate of the future or is it a temporal glimpse into our primitive past? Either way, you are sure to enjoy a silent moment with the Monocrag—or take a hike on the Triple Cragscape. Come for the humans, stay for the future. The "Future Human" sideshow will be up in the grey gallery beginning October 19, so you better get yourself a souvenir before this painted epoch ends.
