I use color dots plus personal style of modernism as a strategy, and this strategy aims to highlight the commercial icons, which are ideology created by the mass media. There is a sense of individualism in such formulated image; “individualism” over here is referred to true selfness. The meaning of the word ”floating world” is the secular world, the earthly world, and the ukiyo-e painting is a depiction of the world of life. The Zebra series are as a miniature of human social behaviors. Zebra stripes are result from thousands years of evolution and they serve the purpose to protect themselves from predators. The work compare to human use many kind of disguising manners, such as famous brand, and famous car, or some popular social activities to higher social status and personal characteristic. The work shows a personified image, meaning human behaviors like zebra stripes have been evolved for thousands of years, but are disguised by language, writing, clothing, rules, regulations, and civilization. And this explains the meaning and purpose of the existence of the main figure in the series. I paint color dots which have personal distinguishing characteristic on the history posters, pictures, and famous mottos, and rebuild these historic icons. I point out every kind of mistakes on human behaviors, also, play trick on Andy Warhol’s image for pointing out the comical of the capitalism economical market. I try to use my own language and contemporary popular symbols to challenge the established artistic standards and values, and record the contradictions of this generation. With various classic symbols as the composition, Ukiyo-e is involved in the popular symbols of the West, creating a sense of conflict. It shows that culture between culture are constantly pulling and changing.Godzilla is the prototype of Japanese anime, manga, and movie monsters. It is also the representative of Japanese beasts. Ukiyo-e is the representative of Japanese culture. The symbols of the canned Campbell soup established by Pop Art and Andy Warhol have become the art palace after being tested by the art history. They have also been deified by the whole world. Andy Warhol is the beast of the world. When the strong world culture invades Japan, Godzilla protects the Japanese culture. Here is different from the war movie, and it was possible to invade a new country without guns, artillery, and missiles.
