"My painting is the only way to survive the brush work painting"

E'wao Kagoshima


E'wao Kagoshima (b.1945 in Japan) is a renowned international painter, sculptor and collage artist of the Japanese Pop Art and Pop Surrealist genres. He has participated in many solo and group exhibitions worldwide, including The New Museum, MoMA PS1 and galleries throughout New York City, Tokyo, Osaka, Paris, London, Brussels, and Zurich. Kagoshima emerged as an artist in Tokyo in the late 1960s and joined New York’s East Village art scene in 1976. He creates hyper-imaginative and erotic surrealist paintings with elements of kitsch and caricatures, as well as motifs from traditional Japanese culture.

MORE BY SECONDARY ART
Ewao Kagoshima: Obstacle
SECONDARY ART
ORIGINAL
$7200

“Obstacle” is a Surrealist painting by E’wao Kagoshima that portrays a background of purple, white and green tones, with a singular centerpiece that resembles a giant monolith that could be rock or cut from stone. Upon closer examination it resembles a severed, upside-down groin, of an ambiguous gender. In the center there is a human-like figure (perhaps a skeleton) that is either standing on its head or hanging.
Ewao Kagoshima: Signal A
SECONDARY ART
ORIGINAL
$7200

Signal A portrays a spherical or perhaps egg-shaped object floating in an aquatic, web-like realm. Out of this object is sprouting a creature with long tentacles, and just outside there is a humanoid figure holding a long cord. Also present is a smaller, red sphere. This surrealist painting is paired with Signal B. 
Ewao Kagoshima: Voyage B
SECONDARY ART
ORIGINAL
$7200

“Voyage B” is a Surrealist painting by E’wao Kagoshima. In a blue sea-to-sky background, there is a light-colored, geometric shape that seems to have a small red object either landing or taking off from it. There is a large, prehistoric fish with a very long tongue, in the act of catching a human figure that is walking on the central shape. There are also two human figures traveling in bubbles alongside the shape. A small boat rows by, one of its crew pointing toward the figures above.
