+ OVERVIEW

Miwa Komatsu was elected as top 39 international artists. She was acclaimed as an international artist without boundaries. She is the youngest living artist whose work of Guardian lion dog made with Arita porcelain was kept as a permanent collection at the British Museum. Her unique works and style allowed her name to echo throughout the international platform.



New York "Feel" and "Think"; Hong Kong "Feel" and "Think" is a diptych rare to the market. With a pyramid structure, the painting is set on a golden and dark green background. Using media such as ink and acrylic paint, the artist filled the canvas with circles, parallel and rough lines and freehand strokes. Two guardian lion dogs, male and female, are composed at the center of the canvas. A unicorn and a bicorn sit across the gold and black sides of the canvas, surrounded by four white Komainu with a gentle expression. The whole canvas has a balanced structure filled with vivid colours, radiant with life. The guardian animals are depicted with divine power and positive energy symbolized as mythical beings protecting humankind.
