Article about the project: Colorful anime

The National Art Museum of Ukraine exhibited paintings of Japanese artists of 1990, the combined name of "Art of Happiness" from the collection of Foundation of Japan. We can not say that the modern Japanese art occupies a separate niche in the global hierarchy. Land of the Rising Sun in general characterized by a commitment to age-old traditions and conservatism. In this case, it is a Japanese graphic impact on European art to a greater extent than vice versa. Western painting for the first time experienced the direct impact of Japanese art in 1862 during the International Exhibition in London. Presented at the Paris exhibition five years later, Japanese woodblock again aroused great interest, particularly attracted the restraint lines and bright colorful spots. Notes even easier, but always recognizable influence of Japanese prints on the Impressionists. Today, when the cultures overcame the distance and differences between them are sometimes elusive, viewers still attracts a chance to look into a different environment, thus expanding the boundaries of his world view.

The names of the participants (Makoto Aida, Yoshitaka Echidzenya, Takanobu Kobayashi, Taro Chiesa, Yoshitomo Nara, Nobuhiko Nookati, Miran Fukuda, Naofumi Maruyama and Takashi Murakami), our hearing, while not familiar with, but they have surely written in the history of not only Japanese, but and the world of contemporary art. Some of them stayed on in Europe, America, and some returned to their native island. It is interesting that the subject matter and style of their work formed before the moment when computer technology have shown no laughing his desire to dominate the world, while Japan's economy has rapidly gained momentum space.

Their appeal to the "old fashioned" technique of painting was intended to bring her back to life (although in this particular painting and does not need), but at a new stage impulse for creativity they served pop culture - only Japanese. Then, many felt that painting was dead, giving way to new techniques and genres. Although it is in Japan could emerge an artist of mega-star of the new wing, which connected to the practice of elite and popular culture. The most famous among those presented in this collection - Takashi Murakami. His work - a clear illustration of how contemporary art can fruitfully cooperate with big business (however, Japan's patronage as a form of art gives support to the popularity of the artist's direct cooperation and corporations). For example, Murakami is working with world famous brands such as Louis Vuitton. He did not begin a new project, not yet hold a market research, and simultaneously operates on multiple objects. His work is waiting and leading museums around the world, and customers are billionaires months. Several dozen artists are coming every day in his studio at the appointed time as ordinary clerks and hours developing a concept, seek out the right shade of paint, create numerous preparatory drawings. True, every stroke, the stroke must be certified at the master. Murakami is very much like to achieve simplicity, the figure of Andy Warhol, but as he himself admitted, "interferes with Eastern culture, from which he grew up.

Achieved worldwide success and Yoshitomo Nara - a retrospective which opened in September in New York. Dangerous game of his cartoon characters - a tuning fork of social disadvantage, particularly in the homogeneous Japanese society.

In Kiev, presented a series of 16 works, each of which the artist Makoto Aida differently portrayed the same story - the sidewalk, which killed eighteen pop star Yukiko Okada. Unfortunately, suicide is a very common method of death in the country. And on a huge canvas «Design» shows that witnesses saw the sinking of the Chellendzhera. Creativity Makoto Aida includes manga, painting, video, works of ink, plastic forms. Abroad her work was exhibited in Beijing, London, Berlin, New York and Singapore. It is today one of the most controversial artists in Japan.

Miran Fukuda prefers to work with the already well-known examples of classical painting, but by copying them to an extraordinary point of view, serves as a medium between the author of the classic design and the viewer.

Chiesa taro cultivation of children's drawings came to the sculpture. Its bright yellow statue Super Lamb Banana in steel and cement has suddenly become unofficial emblem of the English city of Liverpool. Nobody expected that this figure, warning of the vagaries of genetic mutation (lamb with a banana) will love and the citizens and tourists.

The author is a favorite of viewers painting, which depicts a floating dog, Takanobu Kobayashi long, "ass" in Thailand and continues to cooperate with both Tokyo and local galleries. For brevity and depth of expression critics compare his paintings with "haiku."

Semi-fantastic, but a Japanese-style landscapes Yoshitaka Echizenya proud of most luxury hotels in Tokyo.

Almost all the pictures there is no realistic vision of reality. But all are united appeal to the anime, converted from subculture into the mainstream. Is an attempt to revise the classical European tradition, however, as well as east. Someone of them at the time of first presentation of the national team exhibition "Art of Happiness" Ten years ago (since it travels around the world) has already been rewarded with international prizes and grants, and someone just beginning to find their own way. But they were all in the face of inevitable globalization, while trying to convey to the audience their national identity. The fact that these then-Rising creative power of artists became known outside his native homeland, the Japanese Foundation of bother - an organization created in 1972 to promote Japanese culture.

In late October the exhibition "The Art of Happiness" from the collection of Foundation of Japan will be represented in Odessa.
