ABOUT THE ARTWORK
"Brooklyn no Hanami" (translates 'Cherry blossom festival of Brooklyn') was started in the Brooklyn Botanical Garden in 2021 for what Japanese people call "Hanami" which is translated more exactly by "flower viewing". Hanami refers to people going to see the cherry blossom bloom and contemplate. This painting is part of my '[WORLD]' Series. '[WORLD]' regroups several series of small works from 2011 until today. All of them come from a series of sketchbooks I carry with me in every country I live in or visit. Each painting captures the essence of a place, a vibe, or just something that is worth painting. Each sketchbook is handmade in a long-established Parisian craft shop and uses Japanese and Italian paper along with Egyptian binding. The watercolour is made to lure the viewer into thinking this is Japan whilst the model landscape is actually based in the Brooklyn Botanical Garden. Having had a life long fascination for Japanese culture and living in New York, this work is the reunion of my two favourite places. I began the painting in 2021, sketching it on the spot, and finished it a year later in spring 2022. TECHNICAL DETAILS Some parts of the painting have metallic colour 'gansai' (Japanese type of watercolour with iridescent properties) and rare liquid metal which gives the painting another beautiful dimension under different lighting. See detailed shots for the different angles and lighting.

Oscar Lett
United States
Best known for his cross-cultural approach, Oscar Lett stands out by his bold looking paintings prominently using black and contrasting metallic colours. Based in NYC, the Parisian artist loves to embrace the influences of the countries he lived in. After moving to London to study at Central Saint Martins, Oscar then moved to Kyoto as he sought teaching from the masters of Nihonga (traditional Japanese painting). Appropriating each culture and their aesthetics, O.L. developed a unique style depicting a world where opposites can coexist and where people overcome their struggles in impossible urban jungles. Working in large-scale and always craving bigger, Oscar naturally moved to New York in 2016 and made the street his new playground. Since then Lett has been developing a wide portfolio of murals in Europe and the U.S., allowing his fine art and street art practices to inspire one another.
