eyewater animal ver. Calico

Yoya Hashizume's “eyewater” series, featuring “super-flat” anime-style characters that instantly shed tears and carry symbolic phenomena and profound reflections on contemporary social and cultural communication, has rapidly gained popularity in the art world, and has gained a unique place in Asian contemporary art. Heavily influenced by the manga artist Fujiko F. Fujio, the artist adds his own creative consciousness and graphic system to create his own portraits, leaving the viewers with infinite meanings of the “story of tears” depicted in his paintings.
