| "The Art of Yumiko Kayukawa" presents a robust portfolio of Yumiko's illustration style paintings. The Art of Yumiko Kayukawa covers her art from the year 2001 through 2005 arranged into chapters by animal type rather than chronological; hence you will find chapter titles such as "In Cold Blood" and "Here Kitty Kitty". The structure of the book reflects her crisp elegant style while the form of the book reflects her sense of lighthearted humor. The Art of Yumiko Kayukawa provides us with faithful Pantone Ink reproductions of her Acrylic "candy coated" colors, correct painting aspect ratios laid out on high quality paper along with both the Japanese and English versions of her titles. The cover graphics created by Justin Giarla is printed on the 10-inch by 10-inch hardcover. Shag, in his forward discusses Yumiko's many themes such as innocent and knowingly seductive as well as the source of her juxtaposition of Japanese-Traditional Culture icons and American-Pop Culture icons. Niagara, in her introduction takes us into the realm of Yumiko's shaman like connection to animals, "Yumiko is the teeny-bopper with the tarantula for a playmate." A must have for the gourmet Yumiko Kayukawa collectors, art students and patrons of Popular Contemporary Art. |
