Yesterday in my asian art history class, one of my fellow students did a presentation on the Japanese contemporary artist Makoto Aida. I mean I really had to be moved by his work to be writing about it in my blog right? So apparently this 44 year old western-civilization loathing man has certain feelings about socitey/amercian ideals, and you can totally read it in his paintings. He also seems to have a strange obession with women, demoralizing them, school girls, gore, so on and so forth. Take for example his amputee girl, blender, or harajuku girls: they all catch your eye, and are totally fucked.
He also talks about the amercian launguage being pushed in Japan and his resufal to learn it.. and as for the bin laden image? Well its actually a clip from a short film he did, where he talks about quitting terrorism because he found himself in japan. If you dig his stuff or want to look into what he has to say more, feel free to google him, because I sure as hell had a hard time getting anything.
