This elegant tondo embodies the mystical, hyper-layered, intercultural visual language of Tomokazu Matsuyama. An elegantly dressed figure stands among springlike blooms, fluttering birds, and butterflies beneath a glowing moon shining impossibly in a snow-filled, wallpapered sky. The image expresses Matsuyama’s lived experience, combining allusions to high fashion, art history, Eastern and Western aesthetic influences, open-source wallpaper patterns from the Internet; fragmented snippets of pop culture, and compositional strategies of the European Renaissance masters. What name should we give this aesthetic, which relates to nobody nowhere, yet is recognized by everyone everywhere? “I call it the global us,” Matsuyama says. This is Matsuyama’s mastery as an artist; by questioning what is familiar and what is foreign, he shows us pictures of others that are also reflections of ourselves.
