Taro Yakumo presents works that recall the refrains of 1980s and 1990s American pop art, offering an alternative expression of pop art. His art delves into the nature of consumption and mass culture. In an era of mass production and consumption, individuals are surrounded by an abundance of products and information, and their identities and values are shaped by their intimate relationship with this rapidly evolving consumer society.
In today’s society, where information and images are overwhelming, Yakumo Taro aims to create new visual experiences. Through social commentary, political messages, playfulness, and humor, he offers a comical perspective that prompts us to contemplate human existence.
Furthermore, by incorporating motifs that symbolize nations and commercialism, his works satirize power structures, the nature of commercialism, and human desires within consumer society.
