Monsters Paradise 2, is truly a feast for the eyes! The composition delivers more and more with time spent staring it; Onuma’s signature monsters appear in the backdrop, with a heavily scaled crocodile like beast in the foreground; all delivered on a wildly coloured background of acrylic and spray paint.
Dimensions: 90 x 80 cm Date: 2020 Medium: Acrylic and spray-paint on canvas
Shipped directly from the artist’s studio in Amsterdam.
Hiroaki Onuma is one of those artists whose use of pop culture references may go over the head of some – for example your grandparents may not recognise “Blue Eyes White Dragon,” however his exceptional skills when it comes to utilising a variety of mediums is second to none. Skillfully layered oil paintings, and precision use of air brushes create the unique characteristics in Onuma’s paintings – a factor that is gaining recognition within artistic communities. The large scale works have a heavy impact on the viewer, not only through the sheer scale, but the subject matter of a Japanese mythical beast staring down on you has an impressive affect.
I first met Hiro in London, in early 2016 through mutual friends, however, it wasn’t until his solo show at Paris’ Sobering Galerie in 2020 that I really experienced and appreciated his works fully. Following the purchase of his painting, Ancient World, (the first of hopefully many), we built a relationship with the artist and are now delighted to present a range of works online – and soon in the physical realm.
