Shintaro Ohata is a 41 year old Japanese sculptor born in Hiroshima, Japan.
He combines painting and sculpture to depict everyday life scenes in a very cinematic way. He uses strong lighting (both with the painting itself and physical installation,) to create a strong sense of atmosphere. His characteristic style involves placing sculptures in front of his paintings, and shows them as a single piece of work as a combination of the 2 and 3 dimension.
I've loved his work for an incredibly long time. His use of color and lighting is incredibly beautiful and I would love to see them in person. Like Kumi Yamashita, I enjoy his work because it mixes both fine art and sculpture. His sculptures remind me of Laika's movies, as they resemble clay figures.
