With floral-inspired icons, geometric shapes, and futuristic symmetry, Taro Uesugi's digital psychedelia melds cutting-edge technology and traditional Japanese design. He creates virtual collages, slicing up familiar, contemporary textures like stripes, dots, and numbers, and composes strong visual lines of squares or triangles. He also creates futuristic spectrum waves, with cubes floating on a matrix of dots, blinding starlight, and deep blue waves.
In addition to the unique technological skill apparent in his work, the wide range of styles through which Taro Uesugi engages us reflects his sensitivity to the artistic traditions of the past. To view Taro Uesugi's art is to rediscover op-art, abstraction, and the organic shapes of Japanese nature images. He makes use of these traditions to serve his unique vision, one attuned to popular, contemporary styles as well as the foundations of his cultural history.
