Japanese painter Tomokazu Matsuyama has created a personal aesthetic world that straddles the figurative and the abstract, the real and the imagined. His intensely colorful works hark back to the imagery of Edo-period woodblock prints and paintings, just as they present an exhilaratingly fresh take on life today. Melding together a string of cross-pollinating reference points and artistic tropes, Matsuyama delivers a visual vocabulary that references and rectifies the past, just as it begins to explain the here and now.
