Yumiko created the original piece for the Glenn Barr curated group show "LYRIC" at 323East gallery. All the pieces in this exhibition had their roots in a particular music lyric, this one deriving from a song by American Rock singer and songwriter, Alice Cooper. If you want to take a look at some of the other pieces at the LYRIC show, you can see them all onHi-Fructose.
The original piece is also 12x12 acrylic on gallery wrap canvas, so we thought it would be a perfect match for our first limited edition canvas print. Aside from the impressive artwork, a nice bonus to these canvas wraps is that you can immediately hang it on the wall!
For those of you concerned about the life span of our canvas prints, we took our time to work out the details ensuring a high quality print. All of these have a special UV coating that gives them a comparable life-span to the cotton paper.Discuss This Run
About the Artist
Location: Seattle, WA
Yumiko Kayukawa grew up in the small town of Naie in Hokkaido, Japan. In these pristine, natural surroundings, she found her love of animals and nature which later became an important theme of her work. As she grew up, Yumiko drew inspirations from American pop culture such as Rock & Roll, film and fashion. These influences are fused with modern and traditional Japanese motifs to create her unique style.
Yumiko’s debut as an artist was with a Manga feature when she was just 16. She later attended and graduated from Bisen Art School in Sapporo, Japan. She currently lives in Seattle, Washington. Yumiko has had recent solo exhibitions at The Shooting Gallery, La Luz de Jesus, Joshua Liner, and M Modern to name a few.Find out more @ http://sweetyumiko.com/
