ほんの冗談で生まれただけなのに Just Kidding by Hirata Yodom

Hirata Yodom (平田澱) is a Japanese painter working mainly in acrylics.
I couldn’t find anymore info on him, but this is from the bio on his website: (I think Google translate was unable to accurately capture his sentiments)

Delusion painter.
When you close the eye strongly suffer from one knee in the corner of the room, miniature garden Oshii love to come along on the back of the eyelids, I have a picture in a variety of forms to be born in it.

“妄想絵描き。
部屋の片隅でひとり膝を抱えて強く眼を閉じると、瞼の裏に出来上がる愛おしい箱庭、その中で生まれるいろいろな形を絵にしている。主にアクリル絵の具を使用。”

うまくいかない - fail by Hirata Yodom

I find Yodom’s paintings reminiscent of Shintaro Kago & Suehiro Maruo in their depiction of young women’s bodies w/ surreal or absurd deformities.

うちがわの世界 Inside World by Hirata Yodom

Much of the post 20th century art I C deals with the (usually) female body modified, mutilated, or fused w/ something bizarre & unnatural. It’s as if there is something incomplete, decaying &/or grotesque inside that’s oozing, bursting or chewing its way out of her.
