Original artwork by Kate Valentine
Inspiration: This new body of work explores two themes. The concept of “paradise” and the tension of post-colonial and migrant identities (Bright Paradise: Exotic History and Sublime Artifice, 2001); and the visual and spatial language of a fragmentary “floating world” of lifestyle and entertainment culture in Edo-era Japanese printmaking, Manga and 90s/00s Neopop (Hokusai x Manga: Japanese Pop Culture since 1680, 2016).
