This piece of art is one of the Candy Girls series done by Yoshitaka Amano. It is one of the many works displayed at Isetan Scotts in a collaboration with three Japanese contemporary art galleries, Mizuma Gallery, Ota Fine Arts and Tomio Koyama Gallery Singapore. This exhibition features many well established Japanese artists such as Yayoi Kusama, Yoshitaka Amano, etc. The collaboration was made in an effort to create a fusion of fashion and art as well as to bring attention to these works that exude their own unique sense of beauty. I was very happy to discover this exhibition as I am a fan of Japanese art and have admired the work of Yoshitaka Amano ever since I was a child. While admiring the displayed works, I was reminded again of what I found so appealing about art from Japan. It seemed so different and original compared to other styles established in other Asian countries. I love how it can be so unconventionally colourful and lively and yet retain a sensitivity and subtlety that is prevalent in the more traditional types of Japanese art. It is always refreshing to experience the coexistence of tradition and modernity.
