ILLUSTRATIONS BU IKENAGA YASUNARI

FLOATING FEMALES.

CONTINUING THE ANCIENT TRADITION OF NIHONGA PAINTING, IKENAGA YASUNARI, CREATES DREAMY, NOSTALGIC PORTAITS OF WOMEN. IKENAGA MAY BE USING A MENSO BRUSH AND SOOT INK TO CREATE HIS PAINTINGS, BUT HE USES MODERN ELEMENTS IN HIS THEMES. THE WOMEN WEAR TODAY'S CLOTHING STYLES WITH BEAUTIFUL FLORAL DESIGNS.

TIME SEEMS TO STOP IN HIS IMAGES, WHERE WOMEN ARE FLOATING OVER A  FADED GOLDEN BACKGROUND, ELEGANT AND SERENE.
