Having grown up both in Japan and the United States, Masami often produces work that draws inspiration from both cultures. The resulting art is usually very sexually charged, and he often mixes in elements of humor or innuendo to cast a critical eye on certain aspects of a globalized society.

This image is taken from Teraoka’s series “31 Flavors Invading Japan.” Although Teraoka paints with beautiful balance and precision, the underlying commentary is of sexual tension and destructive consumerism. Here, the cone is labeled with the Japanese character for “dare,” which means “who” or “whose”. When coupled with the fact that “drip” is also pronounced as “dare” in Japanese, one starts to unfold the layers of meaning and hidden power struggle.

It’s starting to get hot again, here in sunny California, and we’re sure artist Jay McCafferty is happy about that. Jay creates “solar paintings” by focusing the sun’s light through a magnifying glass and burning the paper. This is California art at its hottest!

"Expressionism was an extremely important movement because it worked to change the purpose and standards of art for the rest of art history. Rather than trying to accurately represent the world, as artists had been doing since the Renaissance, Expressionist artists sought to express their subjective inner emotions, fantasies, or thoughts independent from “reality”. In this way, Expressionism can be seen as a rejection of the Impressionism movement that came before it and a precursor to Abstract art." -Jessica Bocinski, Chapman Student Read more here: https://blogs.chapman.edu/collections/2016/03/28/expressionism/ Marc Chagall "Vision of Paris" Lithograph, 1952 #expressionism #marcchagall #expressionist #expressionistart #arthistory #fineart #modernart #lithography #paris #chapmanu #chapmanuniversity #escalettecollection

Jan Hashey's "Pots and Pans" is a good example of screenprinting as fine art. If you're interested in learning more about the medium, our very own Chapman student Haley Hopkins explains it all on our blog. https://blogs.chapman.edu/collectio…/…/03/14/screenprinting/ Jan Hashey "Pots and Pans" Screenprint, 1987 Gift of Taco Bell #janhashey #screenprint #screenprinting #fineart #serigraph #modernart #abstract #abstraction #potsandpans #chapmanuniversity #chapmanu #escalettecollection

The Holidays may be over, but winter is just getting started, so we'd like to share this piece by artist Todd Hebert with you. Hebert's art can be described as a contemporary take on the classic still life. Choosing everyday objects as his subjects, Hebert paints with amazing accuracy, sometimes with photographic realism. Yet this sharpness is often put in contrast with large unfocused, blurry areas or objects. The results can range from playful to just plain eccentric, but always demonstrate Hebert's artistic skill.

Today is the last day of Día de los Muertos. We're recognizing it with this work by artist Ruby Osorio, who studied art at the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico after receiving a degree in Sociology at UCLA. Afterwards, she was awarded a residency in Japan and studied art abroad there in 2005. The majority of Osorio's work revolves around the idea of playing with "feminine aesthetic." "Dual Nature" depicts the profile of a woman, but much more prominently features a skull facing the viewer, juxtaposing beauty with darkness. The duality of this piece is both beautiful and terrifying; a reminder that death is inherent to the nature of life. #diadelosmuertos #skull #contemporaryart #contemporary #art #rubyosorio #dualnature #chapmanuniversity #chapmanu #escalettecollection

Students at Chapman’s Harry and Diane Rinker Health Science Campus had better beware: to a meandering zombie, these large canvases might appear quite delectable! Peter Kogler is an Austrian artist who receives his artistic inspiration primarily from science and technology, uniting two very different schools of thought in a single form of expression. Specifically in his pieces Brain CA (Green) and Brain CA (Pink), one can see how Kogler’s fascination with the texture, shape, and depth of a human brain was translated into two hypnotic depictions. #PeterKogler #Kogler #art #contemporaryart #fineart #brain #brains #brainca(pink) #eerie #eerieart #creepy #ChapmanU #chapmanart #EscaletteCollection #scienceandart

Halloween is coming and we're counting down the days with a spooky selection of works from our collection. First in our eerie lineup is an untitled piece by artist Eric Freeman. Freeman has exhibited his work all over the world and has amazed his audiences with his use of color and unique styles. He works primarily with oil on canvas, employing a technique in which he gradually thins out the paint he applies using various brushstrokes at differing speeds. What do you see in Freeman's harsh brushstrokes? Ghosts? Skeletons? An electrical storm? Or could it be something darker...? #ChapmanU #chapmanart #art #EscaletteCollection #contemporaryart #painting #oilpainting #oiloncanvas #spooky #spookyart #ericfreeman #eerie #eerieart
