Aomochi Nakahara
No one notices, however, it surely exists
The workpiece drawn by Aomochi Nakahara is a “Monologue.” It is a modest true message that no one can tell.
Small joys in everyday life, nights to think about someone, moments of spare time, small complaints … such are the emotions that would never have been drawn; however, Nakahara depicts the slight emotional swings that everyone has.
Many people are used in the illustration, but few people are facing the front. They don’t appeal to us. However, if you look closely, you can see that each has some kind of emotion, and the viewer can imagine the story of the person in the picture.
Nakahara’s illustrations are an extension of comic illustrations that are heavily influenced by Japanese comics, but have a simple screen structure that takes advantage of the graphic design and white space reminiscent of Japanese paintings, which cannot be classified as either comics or art, pursuing a unique worldview. This is due to the result of focusing on the minimally necessary elements to place “drawing subtleties of human emotions” as the main axis. The motifs of plants, etc., delicately depicted with a ballpoint pen, express such feelings, and the fantastic scenic setting that does not exist in the real world is also an important element for building Nakahara’s unique world view.
