Asianic by ArtistNikkiJ
Title: Asianic
Artist: ArtistNikkiJ

Media: Digital Imaging
How is this related to my theme? (asian culture)
The title of the artwork itself explains it.
What interests me about this piece is that it was created using digital media.
The colours and symbolizm is simple and straight to the point on what the artist is trying to portray. The Sakura blossoms, chinese lucky charms are also visible. Japanese Lady ( Geisha) is the main attraction in this image.

Yin Lang by Kaless Aradan
Title: Yin Lang (Night Wolf)
Artist: Kaless Aradan
Date: July 2005
Media: Drawing paper, mechanical pencils. (Surrealism)
How is this related to my theme? (asian culture)
This drawing symbolizes Chinese culture adapted to the wolf.
the Yin Yang is a tradional chinese philosophy representing opposites. What i like about this drawing done by Kaless is the texture, very defined and realistic looking.

Step into culture by Arcing21
Title: Step into Culture
Artist: Arcing21
Date: May 4 2008
Media: Oil paint and pastels on Canvas
How is this related to my theme? (asian culture)
This painting is representing Japanese culture, as you can see a Geisha with an umbrella is shown. What I like about this painting is that the artist himself said ” i paint nothing fancy”.
I love rough looking paintings myself.This painting also shows loneliness and despair by the expression on the Geisha’s face, empty.

Kenso Interior by HaikuDesign

Interior design is also seen as a form of art and HaikuDesigns offers Japanese based furniture designs.
Its materials are made only from natural organic materials “eco-wood”. This interior idea was to create Kenso meaning simple furniture. HaikuDesign only aims to produce tradional Japanese themed furniture but modernizing it.

Acid Panda by Xi Xi
Title: Acid Panda
Artist:Xi Xi Xi
Date:June 2008
Media:Stencil Spray Paint, Acrylic on Canvas
How is this related to my theme? (asian culture)
The Panda is another of China’s national icon. Why I added this painting to my exhibition is that I love the way the artist stenciled the Panda, the background being abtract to minimize distraction and to focus just on the Panda. I love the colours and randomness.

Samurai Warrior by Kevintolibao
Title:Samurai Warrior
Artist:Kevintolibao
Date:April-May 2005
Media:Bond paper and mechanical pencil
How is this related to my theme? (asian culture)
Samurai is one of Japan’s famous historical heritage. They were known as high- class warriors fighting for a reason, they were also equipped with just Japanese swords or bow and arrows.
Why I picked this drawing is due to its shading and detailed carefully. Realism drawing is also obviously used. The armour seen on the Samurai is accurately done.

Pinoy New Year by Gromyko
Title: Pinoy New Year
Artist: Gromyko
Date: 31 December 2006
Media: 9x12inch Print on paper, Watercolor paint, Ink and pen
How is this related to my theme? (asian culture)
This is an abstract painting of the way Filipino’s celebrating new year. Like the Chinese, Filipino’s they like to celebrate New Year with fireworks but using bamboo stems filled with fluid.
It is tradional for there culture.What i love about this painting is that even though its quite abstract you can still see people figures and fireworks. The use of the watercolours blending excellent with the black ink.

Sushi by CyberPunk Kim
Title:Sushi
Artist:CyberPunk Kim
Date:December 25 2006
Media:Pastels on Canvas, Oil paint
How is this related to my theme? (asian culture)
Sushi is Japanese cuisine and is known world wide for its colours and oddness. What I like about this painting is that the colours are very bright and bold, adding a bit of shadow from the chopstick also giving a realistic effect.
Also how the way CyberPunk Kim drew the sushi from an odd angle intrigue’s me.
