Like small works of art, well here’s another lovely artist for this blog’s artspiration collection: Naoto Hattori.
I’ve been following Hattori for some time now and his work has always been a great reminder that amazing art can come in small sizes.
Naoto Hattori is a Japanese artist who paints these wonderfully surrealistic acrylic paintings of floating heads, imaginative creatures and adorable one-eyed kittens. Many pieces of his work are smaller than 6×6, which have often given me inspiration in doing my artist card drawings. Not so much in subject matter but rather to serve as an example that an artist doesn’t have to go out and create work that can cover one whole side of a museum in order to create great art. Such large pieces are impressive indeed but as the saying goes “Great things come in small sizes” too or my personal favorite “It’s the little things that count.” So here’s another mark on the scoreboard for lovers and creators of small works of art. 😊

Wow! They take some looking at to ‘get’ – they don’t hit the consciousness straight away, Do they? (Or, not mine, anyway. 🙂 )
