When i first looked at these painting i got shivers from how haunting the doll-like girls were.Thinking it was a 3D animation type of thing but the artist Takamatsu has increased the realism by actually layering customised printed tarp onto a panel where the artist finishes it off with acylic.
"The girls in these paintings have a haunting beauty that seamlessly
blends youthful innocence with eerie suggestions of death. In his work,
Japanese artist Kazuki Takamatsu makes artwork that explores the
emotional aspects of Japanese society. He says, "My art deals with a
fictional form of death…a metaphor for people losing their soul and
place in society."
To create each piece, Takamatsu goes through an extensive creative
process. He first develops a rough sketch with pencil or pen. Once his
idea is formed, the artist creates a digital file with multiple cross
sections, adding gradations of light and dark, and then printing on a
customized tarp. The tarp is then glued onto a panel where Takamatsu
touches the piece up with acrylic paints to emphasize the lines and textures, and then finishes the piece off with a matte medium and an overlay of jet-black acrylic gouache." sourced from http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/kazuki-takamatsu-show-corey-helford-gallery
