Eastern and Western art history and pop culture collide in Tomokazu Matsuyama’s fantastical paintings, which explore themes of globalization and national identity in the age of the internet. The artist, who grew up between Japan and America, loads his large-scale canvases (sometimes irregularly shaped or divided into panels)with references to his bicultural background: He has taken inspiration from Pop art and manga, cowboys and samurai, graffiti and the Meiji era, Abstract Expressionism and woodblock printing.
