This is another one of those "caveats" here, as this painted piece is only on the tenebrous subject of Japan, (or maybe it's inspirational?) but the original artist who created it is not of Japanese descent in the least.
Yeti Over Mount Fuji II, by
Phil Ashcroft ; acrylic on canvas ; 183 x 126cm, 72"x50" ; 2004.
Phil Ashcroft is an artist based in London. Combining influences from abstract expressionism, British landscape painting, Japanese woodcuts, and graphic street art, Ashcroft integrates varied visual styles to generate a crossover between space, object and environment.
"The unknown is a space at once fascinating and fearful by mankind’s technological advances and the romantic notion that there still lies undiscovered elements to the world in which we live. A derelict hospital, oil depots, nuclear power stations, the abominable snowman; collectively these semi-surreal settings and cartoon-like motifs appear as mysterious manifestations, phenomena both real and imagined."
