Description
In the fanciful life of Yumiko Kayukawa, she is able to hang out with animals like best friends. A colorful picture of a pouty lipped, glossy eyed girl hugging a manatee the way a child hugs their grandpa, first grabbed my attention. The connection between animal and girl is captivating. The playfully erotic poses of her subjects, seem to draw you into a world that combines Tokyo fashion, reoccurring themes of 1970’s multi colored flowers and vivid patterns gentle dispersed through the dreamy illustrations.Yumiko Kayukawa’s art has a strong Japanese influence combined with American rock’n roll. Born in the small town of Naie in Hokkaido, Japan, Yumiko’s biggest influence has been the relationship to nature and animals. The panoramic scenery and native animals that surround her home as a young girl inspired many ways to communicate her feelings with nature. The other strong influence was her imagination about rock'n roll culture.
