“Fine Art of Illustrators” Exhibition
Onishi Gallery
This event has ended.
This original group exhibition showcasing five renowned and active illustrators is curated by Coco Masuda, our managing director, and supported by Workbook.
Illustrators are bound by the stories they depict, the products they promote, the expectations of their clients, and the tight deadlines they must meet. Their work is creative and skillful yet most often dismissed as “commercial” by the fine art world. Few illustrators have successfully crossed the line that divides “commercial” art and “fine” art in the public eye, most prominent among whom have been N.C. Wyeth, Maxfield Parrish, and Andy Warhol. This exhibition presents five contemporary illustrators whose artwork provokes viewers to reconsider the boundaries of fine art in the face of remarkable visual creations.
While some illustrators break free of the constraints of their professional style and employ alternate techniques in their artwork, others stay within the comfort of their profession style in their own creations. The artists in this exhibition follow both models of creative expression, and demonstrate the virtues of each one.
