Hiroshi Kobayashi

Hiroshi Kobayashi (Born 1967) is active/lives in Japan.  Hiroshi Kobayashi is known for Stuffed animal painting.

Hiroshi Kobayashi's paintings of stuffed animals integrate elements of Japanese ukiyo-e (woodcut printing), photography and animation, characterized by the layered pictorial space, dynamics of action, sharp lines and allegorical meaning.  Inspired by these mediums the artists takes a digital photograph of a figure, and in an elaborate process manipulates the image to a draft a virtual story.  With the aid of a computer, he reduces his subject into shapes and outlines reminiscent of a topographical map. Pouring fluid acrylic paints within these lines onto a prepared canvas, the artist creates an animated vision of floating figures on a smooth surface.  Similar to an illusion or a single moment of a dream, these floating toys represent the image of our youth held at the back of our memories, serving as kind reminders of the blissful years of our youth.
