"I love the idea of creation and the beauty of pure imagination. I see my work as a window to a parallel world where we can all belong. A world where the beauty of the Japanese Edo period clashes with the power of present symbols.of Western culture and modernity. As a half-Japanese woman growing up in one of the most homogeneous countries in the world (Japan), I spent most of my life searching for a sense of belonging. It forced me to create my reality, a reality of Shuiro Emotions." -Shishidomia
Exploring Shishidomia's Fusion of Edo Tradition and Modern Street Pop Art
Shishidomia, the artist renowned for her unique blend of traditional Japanese aesthetics and contemporary urban art, presents a striking limited edition silkscreen print series titled 'Bubble Tea.' This series exemplifies her signature fusion of Edo period elements with modern-day iconography, creating an engaging piece of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork. Limited to an exclusive run of just 20 pieces, each hand-pulled print is a testament to Shishidomia's meticulous craftsmanship and creative vision. Born from the creative depths of Shishidomia's dual heritage, the 'Bubble Tea' silkscreen series is a visual narrative that addresses the complex themes of identity and belonging. Each 18x24 inch print is painstakingly produced on 250gsm Stonehenge paper, a high-quality substrate revered for its durability and rich texture. The series boasts five colors, each layer hand-applied with precision, culminating in a piece that radiates both vibrancy and subtlety. The Japanese characters adorning the prints shimmer with a translucent quality, their luminescence shifting with ambient light and perspective changes.
The Artistic Intersection of Japanese Edo Charm and Contemporary Culture
Shishidomia's work is a window into a world where past and present merge. The 'Bubble Tea' series is a striking example of this, juxtaposing the grace of the Japanese Edo period against the backdrop of Western cultural symbols and modernity. This piece features a whimsical character, a nod to the historic Ukiyo-e style, sipping bubble tea, a trendy drink emblematic of modern global culture. The contrast is further highlighted by the character's attire, a blend of a traditional kimono patterned with contemporary floral designs and modern sneakers, emphasizing the time-spanning dialogue that Shishidomia invites us to partake in. Each print is not merely a static image but an interactive experience that changes with its surroundings. The choice of Stonehenge paper adds a tactile dimension, its delicate yet substantial feel enhancing the visual impact. Shishidomia's dedication to her craft is evident in the details: the hand-pulled silkscreen printing method ensures that each color is vibrant and full of life, with even the most minor details executed with the utmost care.
Shishidomia's Personal Journey and Artistic Identity
The narrative behind Shishidomia's art is as compelling as the pieces themselves. A half-Japanese artist grappling with her identity in a homogenized society, her quest for a place where she belongs drove her to create a unique artistic realm. She constructs a reality filled with 'Shuiro Emotions,' a concept that embodies her emotional and cultural journey. Her prints serve as artifacts of artistic expression and milestones on her path to self-discovery. Her prints are more than just art; they are pieces of a larger conversation about the nature of identity in a rapidly globalizing world. They ask the viewer to consider how disparate cultural elements can coexist and enrich one another, like the various influences shaping Shishidomia's life. Each print, hand-signed and numbered, carries a piece of the artist's soul and a fragment of her story—Shishidomia's commitment to creating a world where tradition and innovation merge is a hallmark of her work. The 'Bubble Tea' series captures this vision with its artful blend of historical Japanese iconography and modern-day cultural elements, resulting in a piece of Street Pop Art and Graffiti Artwork that is thought-provoking and visually stunning. As with all great art, it challenges the viewer, posing questions about cultural authenticity, appropriation, and the synthesis of old and new. Shishidomia's contribution to the art world goes beyond visual aesthetics. Her work acts as a bridge for viewers to access not only the beauty of Japanese culture but also the universal quest for belonging in a constantly evolving world. Through her prints, we are invited to contemplate the fluidity of identity and the boundless potential of the imagination, illustrating that art can become a unifying language transcending time and place.
