Shintaro Ohata Seamlessly Blends Sculpture and Canvas to Create 3D Paintings When first viewing the artwork of
Shintaro Ohata up close it appears the scenes are made from simple oil paints, but take a step back and you’re in for a surprise. Each piece is actually a hybrid of painted canvas and sculpture that blend almost flawlessly in color and texture to create a single image. The cinematic figures are sculpted from polystyrene while the backgrounds are made from traditional painting techniques.
Artist Statement:
"Born in Hiroshima, 1975.
Shintaro Ohata is an artist who depicts little things in everyday life
like scenes of a movie and captures all sorts of light in his work with a
unique touch: convenience stores at night, city roads on rainy day and
fast-food shops at dawn etc. His paintings show us ordinary sceneries as
dramas. He is also known for his characteristic style; placing
sculptures in front of paintings, and shows them as one work, a
combination of 2-D and 3-D world. "
