Born in Japan, Arakawa’s foray into art was rather humble, first starting off doodling on his grandmother’s newspapers. After winning an award for an oil painting he made in highschool, Arakawa’s varied interests in art would put him on the path to where he is today. Throughout his body of work, there have been consistent themes, a key component of which is the way that he balances both beauty and functionality. This flexibility and willingness to create a wide variety of art is part of what makes Arakawa so interesting; though what makes him so exceptional is the fact that he does it all so well.
