Yo Mutsu

Yo Mutsu Works with the images of the Japanese school girl with the current (and sometimes past) social problems with kids. Such as abnormal desire for sexual intercourse, the need for self injury, the social pressure that leads to suicide, the ecstasy of seeing fellow classmates getting tortured... Yo uses these images and ideas and paints with the Shunga (a traditional Japanese form of art but more focused in eroticism and/or grotesqueism) style to express his art form. Sometimes in each of his paintings, Yo paints in his wife as one of the girls (either background or sometimes the main person) and paints himself in as well in this dark and sad but living world.
