Chikara Matsumoto at Postalco Shop
We were inspired by Chikara’s animations from the moment we saw them. Beautiful effects result from his hand-drawing each frame on recycled paper backlit on a lightbox. These animations transport the viewer to alternate worlds.
Oh, here comes Chikara, around the corner and straight ahead like an angel falling from somewhere. - Makoto Saeki
Painter and video animation artist. He produces video works by hand-drawing each frame on recycled paper, using a unique animation technique in which he backlights his drawings on a light box. Based in Tokyo, Japan.
