Tsuchinoko - Wanpaku

Tsuchinoko est le plus japonais des artistes français. Ses influences, comme son patronyme l'indique, sont clairement nippones, pourtant le grand gaillard est très loin de l'image de l'Otaku classique, son parcours est lui aussi atypique : Estienne puis 20 ans de design graphique.Tsuchinoko, c'est un style reconnaissable : du noir et blanc, du rouge, du dotwork. Il fait partie de ces artistes "couteaux suisses" qui, au-delà du dessin, font de la photo, du digital art et du développement web.Il utilise habillement ces 3 techniques (dessin, photo et digital), mélangeant nos repères au point qu'il devient impossible de discerner dans l'oeuvre le numérique de l'organique.Tsuchinoko is the most Japanese of the French artists. His influences, as his name shows, are clearly Japanese. However, this strapping fellow does not respond to the standard Otaku image. His professional career is also atypical: Estienne School of Graphic Arts, followed by 20 years of graphic design. Tsuchinoko is also a recognisable style: black and white, red, dot-work. He belongs to the category of "Swiss-knife artists" who, other than drawing, are also into photography, digital art and even web development. He skilfully uses these three techniques (drawing, photography and digital art), managing to change our standpoints to such an extent that it is impossible to tell the difference between the digital and the organic parts of the artwork.
