Attributed to Ayako Rokkaku, Japanese, German, born 1982, acrylic painting on canvas depicting a cartoon scene with a girl, 2016. Signed and dated, lower right. Framed. Ayako Rokkaku is known for Cartoon style paintings of adolescent children. Ayako Rokkaku was born in Chiba shi, a town situated in the greater Tokyo area. She started to paint in 2002 and mastered her own painting technique. She never attended art school, but is completely self taught. Rokkakus iconic style features large, mostly female figures with candid facial expressions full of character. Vividly coloured backgrounds, littered with flowers, tiny figures and rainbow like smears compose a colourful and happy dream world. The large eyes and long arms of her characters fit within the Japanese manga style, while the bright colours and compositions remind of drawings made by infants. Not coincidentally, as Rokkaku loves the imagination and lack of rules in children's drawings. Her unique technique, directly applying the acrylic paint to the canvas using her bare fingers and hands, is easily recognizable in the dynamic and lively compositions. Asian Fine Art, Cartoon Illustration Paintings, Wall Art, and Collectibles. One of a kind artwork.
