“I do all for My Lord Marquis of Carabas” - 1620 × 1303mm, oil painting, 2008

Japanese artist Yuma Touko features surreal, fun, bright, raucous, playful imagery that transcends category. Touko paints a wickedly humorous melange of fairytales and pop culture to tell unsettling tales about the beauty and pain of childhood. With his divine gift for color and composition, Touko draws attention to vast amounts of iconography and bizzare pop imagery used as a metaphor, which makes the viewing experience all the richer and more compelling.
