Neo Raigō-zu 2023 Archival Print by Hikari Shimoda

Hikari Shimoda's "Neo Raigō-zu 2023" offers a vibrant tapestry of colors and figures that resonate deeply with the themes prevalent in pop art, street art, and graffiti. This limited edition archival print, restricted to 50 signed and numbered pieces, showcases Shimoda's Lowbrow-Irasuto style, inspired by anime and manga, which she has honed since her career began after studying at Kyoto Saga University of Art. The 20x24 inch artwork, printed on premium Moab Entrada fine art paper, employs a striking pigment that captures the fantastical nature of Shimoda's subjects — celestial beings and magical children who explore the paradoxes of modern society and the quest for spiritual meaning. Her characters, often seen in heroic costumes or as magical Shojo girls, are not just whimsical; they embody a critique of contemporary issues and the ideological projections placed upon the younger generation. Shimoda's work, while enchanting, is a profound commentary on the state of the world, offering a unique blend of fantasy and reality that is characteristic of the most thought-provoking street pop art and graffiti artwork.
