Description

Ordinary urban life is potentially containing vulnerability and risky conditions
when natural disaster would be happened.

Utilizing a unique method of digital imaging, Japanese artist Dan OBANA creates a
contemporary imagination of the traditional method of hanga block printing. His
works, to which he refers as digital hanga, are complex, multilayered photographs of
analog materials. OBANA�s synthesis of the digital and analog realms provides not
only a thoughtful introspection into the development and role of technology in our
contemporary lives, it references the age-old tradition of the multi-layered
techniques used to produce original hanga prints. Over time, OBANA believes that the
continued refinement of his methods will ,in fact, lead to limitless artistic
possibilities, echoing the deep visual effect created by his complexly constructed
works.
