A TribuTe t0 oNe of my favOuriTe arTistz, Naoto Hattori


Naoto Hattori was born in Yokohama, Japan and was graduated from Tokyo Designer's College in 1996. Soon he moved to New York to study illustration, and in 2000 received my BFA degree from The School of Visual Arts. While attending school, Naoto was selected to be in an exhibition of The Society of Illustrator's annual scholarship competition, The Art Director's Club in NYC, The 1st National CSF Award etc.... Currently, he is doing a group show every 2 months at the Subculture Gallery in NYC. Naoto specializes in super-realistic painting as a portrait, landscape and real life objects. He realized that if he uses a photograph or sees a real object he can paint exactly the same image, but that was just skill art and never satisfied his artistic needs, so he started painting images from scratch. He designs characters and landscapes; sometimes he even changes the lighting and shadows or an anatomical state. Mr. Hattori realized that he doesn't like super- realistic styles so he paints things not too photorealistic or resembling computer art. "Why was the surreal painter so important back in his day? Why did the royal residence hire those artists? Not because of their love for surreal paintings, just because the camera had not been invented yet. Now we have a computer, a video.. and numerous other things, so that contemporary art became abstract and people rely on a computer and tend to forget to about the traditional art. I'm young but I just want to show them that surreal style of painting is still not dead. I keep making fresh pieces and amaze people through my vision," says Naoto.
