Ken Niimura is a Tokyo-based artist, working mainly in the illustration and cartooning fields. He is a creative story-teller, as most of the times he is both writing and drawing his comics, building fun characters. He has released many self-published zines, and his comic books have already been translated in various languages. He has participated in many exhibitions and art shows around the globe, illustration contests and well-known art book fairs. The Japanese technique ‘Ukiyo-e’ has very much influenced his work, and especially the series entitled ‘’Images of the floating world’’. In this series of digital prints, Ken Niimura is designing female figures floating in a sea of bold colors, with their over-emphasized long hair giving a strong sense of movement as well as an equally strong sense of sensuality. Ken Niimura sure knows how to combine the Japanese artistic tradition with today’s pop culture and we very much look forward to more of his art.
