The technique used by this artists ( in

this case) is the same. They use

software to express the whole new

vision of Japan.Visual language elements: its clear

that both artists use lots of shapes

that may look in disorder but that

crate a shape. Both use the contrast

of the colors to bring life to their

work. Circles and lines are a key

element in this pieces.

Concept: this might be their most

common characteristic; both of

the artists through the technique

and V.L.E., express all the “

Japanese-ness” combined whit

some of the western culture.

Giving us a new vision of the link

between East and West. Making a

revolution in the work of art.

Aoshima`s work is similar to some

other artists we had studied among

the yearThis Easter artists express their

culture in their art pieces. Some

decide to take elements from the

west to create something new,

something that will make a change

in art. Some other rather show how

they see their world an how they

see western culture as something

very different.I think that making art is to express

feelings, thoughts and opinion, and

it is what this artist do, but each

one in their way and look., whit

thair own technique and use of

visual language elements.
