Lee Chen Dao: Sleepless In Tokyo www.juxtapoz.com

At first glance, Chen-Dao Lee uses people around him as motifs.
His home country, Taiwan, accepts a lot of culture from Japan and the US, and his paintings incorporate Taiwanese mixed culture.
They are works that have been homogenized with the same admiration even for combinations such as "Hollywood films and anime" or "Japanese porn videos and Western master paintings", which are unthinkable overseas.
Many of his images include two sides such as "men and women", "classics and the present", "ordinary and extraordinary", and "seeing and being seen" with mirrors or *motorcycles.
As the exhibition title Sleepless in Tokyo indicates, his works overlap with his impression of an intriguing city, Tokyo, which shows completely different aspects night and day with no sleep.
