Eimi Takano x Tokyo Jesus “Skulls and Sweets” show at Stranger Factory

Two fantastic artists from Japan are having their work showcased at Stranger Factory right now. Eimi Takano x Tokyo Jesus “Skulls and Sweets” show at Stranger Factory is possibly the most Yin and Yang show ever and thats why Stranger Factory is unique. Both freaking awesome work one half we have the yummy cute work from Emi Takano and the notorious twisted Tokyo Jesus which always shocks our minds with the creativity.

Tokyo Jesus is a self taught artist whose work focuses on complex female characters that live between chaos and sanity. His vision is filled with soft sexual tension, skulls, and what he considers “ruined science.”

Here are a few of our favorites from “SKULL and Sweets” Show.

Tokyo Jesus – Star Watcher

His wife Eimi Takano’s work is an extreme contrast visually with the sugary sweet visions of an idealized childhood. She describes her work as funny, yummy, and cute. Babies dreaming of becoming circus performers, memory bears, and starry-eyed donuts  create a world full of imagination and kawaii style optimism.
