Yutaka Inagawa –

 Born in February 23, 1974, Tokyo. He is a Japanese artist who studied at Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music. Also, studying at Chelsea College of Art and Design, since then he’s been working in London. Therefore, he trained his skills in line drawing, painting and photography, which included digital photomontage. His worked is inspired by the lack of harmony between traditional and modern arts, in which influenced most of his work, especially digital arts. He likes to mix his digitized work with various contradicting elements. I believe his work to be intriguing because of its abstract manner, the viewer can the depict it in any way possible meaning it captures the attention of various people. Most of his work seems to influenced by nature and landscape, this can be seen through the image of the mountainous landscape and large use of foliage as parts of his collage.

Additionally, Yutaka having various exhibitions throughout his career such a Summer Exhibition 2005, Royal Academy of Arts, London and in 2007, New Art Center, New York; including many more.

Peter Kennard

Born in 17th February 1949, London, England. He is a photomontage based artist and a well reputable tutor at the Royal College of Art. Initially, he was a painter before the Vietnam War; however he believed digital cut and pasting was a better approach to address his problems and showcase his political views. He is largely known for his images created during the 70’s and 80’s for the CND (Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament). His work interests because you can clearly see his thoughts and ideals behind these propaganda pieces, he is very Anti war and wishes to prevent nuclear war. He does this by making quite extreme and intense imagery, in which shocks the viewer so they can understand Peter’s point of view.
