Matsui Fuyuko can be seen as the "japan’s next big art sensation" since
Takashi Murakami and
Yoshitomo Nara but her art is far more interesting at some points :
- she is using traditional Nihonga style but including morbid and grotesque aspects. Her drawing style/technicity is excellent and the result is credible as it doesn't appear as a caricature. This is why her art is so modern, timeless and creates a real and personal world/atmosphere.

- She is somewhere "anti girlish/Kawai" art. Probably a critic to the new japan art scene as she stated it in an interview : "I don’t like sweet and cute art, Japanese art nowadays is like that, but if we think in centuries, in the
Kamakura period for example, it was scarier, more ghostly. I want to return to that taste in my art." But also in front of those beautiful "maltreated and victimised" female bodies you can have many nice interpretation of what's on Matsui's mind...

- In that way she can be interpreted as the feminine answer to the
Maruo and
Hanawa "Bloody Ukiyo-E". Also it's quite rare as it's the first time I come across that kind of art done by a japanese woman ... And forgive me if I prefer her than the two precited as she far more cute ... no ?
