Akinori Oishi (JP)

The characters of Japanese artist Akinori Oishi are reduced life forms, which he arranges to huge, never ending trees of life, inviting you to colour them in or to get lost in meditation. His sprawling artworks, animations, games, comics and illustrations are created with both, analogue and digital tools. After studying painting at Kyoto City University of Art, and multi-media at IAMAS in Ogaki, he won the price of the International Multimedia Fair in France in 2001 and started to work at the legendary French creative studio TEAMCHMAN. Today Akinori Oishi works as an independent artist and teaches multi-media at the Ecole Cantonale d'Art Lausanne in Switzerland, and Nagoya Zokei University of Art in Japan. His work, ranging from interactive installations to miniature sketches, has been exhibited throughout Asia and Europe.
