There has been a fascinating culture of crazy decorated trucks in Japan since the '70s and I had always wanted to draw my own version of it with my characters. This is Women's Truck that runs only on nights with a full moon. Nobody knows what they transport but there always seems to be a crazy party going on inside.It’s known as a sign of good luck if you happen to see it running on the street
The meanings of the words on the truck.
女= women/woman
夢= dream
愛＝love
永久不滅＝everlasting
白蛇= white snake/serpent
狂喜乱舞= dancing wildly with joy (meaning absolutely ecstatic)
天下無敵= invincible/unrivaled
This work is part of the group exhibition Popland IV. Popland is a remarkable exhibition concept featuring new, emerging, and established talent from around the world, curated by artist Ciou.
Since the emergence of art movements in the 20th century, such as surrealism and pop art, a community of artists has emerged in the 21st century who have created a unique movement known as Pop Surrealism.
“It is interesting to see how artists from Asia interpret American influences, and how artists from Europe approach art from Japan. It is a continuous cycle of inspiration, a perfect circle.
I am very excited to show you my selection of the best international artists of our generation. In this edition, you will discover established and emerging artists from Japan, Australia, Spain, Lithuania, France, the United States, Argentina, the Netherlands, Scotland, and Germany” - Ciou
