(Drivebycuriosity) - Manhattan is not just the global center of finance. The island is also a mecca of art. Many ambitious art galleries are lured to come here because of the amassed wealth. Recently opened the Mizuma Gallery, which is at home in Singapore, a dependence on 324 Grand Street (between Lower East Side & Chinatown mizuma ). They start with work by the Japanese artist AMANO Yoshitaka. The exhibition is called “DEVA LOKA (through November 18, 2018  opening).

Yoshitaka started his career in an animation film studio. After setting up a studio in New York in the late 1990s, he decided to switch his primary pursuit to fine art. Today he is influenced by pop art &  Anime characters. Above you can see his "Candy Girl" followed by "When sleeping beauty wakes". Both 2018, automotive paint, acrylic, and aluminium panel.
