I created these series of paintings dedicated to Joe Yabuki, who was the one of the most legendary and influential comic/ animation characters in Japan.  The title of the comic was “Ashita no Joe (Tomorrow’s Joe).”  This was the boxing story, a punk orphan guy, Joe Yabuki growing the contender for the world champion.  The story finished with the death of Joe Yabuki.  He slept forever after full rounds match against the world champion…  Though the comic was run from 1968 to 1973, many people still adore Joe Yabuki.  I painted to show my utmost respect for him.

Perhaps I am painting the cruelty of contemporary life because it is in opposition to my naïve outlook. In contrast with the physical features of my paintings, I think I am visualizing my feeling of anxiety in contemporary life. Though I do not think I am fully aware of the relationship between this cruelty and my anxiety, I represent this unsure feeling as figuratively as possible, and I am trying to figure it out in my painting. Although there are some prominent aspects of our contemporary world, such as commercialism and materialism, I cannot say who my enemy is. Some of the threats might involve the art world, however to protest such issues overtly does not suit my personal outlook.
