Taro Yamamoto is a contemporary painter from Japan. Tara Yamamoto was born in the year 1974.
The artist earned a degree from University of Art and Design located in Kyoto, Japan.
Yamamoto often composes paintings that blends Eastern symbols such as cherry tree blossoms alongside famous American icons such as the United States flag or the Statue of Liberty.
Price range information: Sorry none available.
Yamamoto often works with Japanese mineral pigment and gold leaf.
Taro Yamamoto makes modern art that is the epitome of Western and Eastern cultures. His work is similar to Ai Weiwei in that both artists have taken international brands such as Coca- Cola and blended them with their own culture.
Andy Warhol painted his Coke cans as if they were part of an ad, Yamamoto has made his part of the scenery and given the can some action.
From a design standpoint Yamamoto’s trees are amazing!

I like the way he combines pop art motives with traditional Japanese painting, e.g. the way he cites from one of Ogata Kōrin’s famous paintings, playing with motives and styles from several traditions.
