Kumi Obata's work looks quite naive in the way that it represents real objects, for example the houses, birds and trees. Although they look nothing like how they are in real life, we still know exactly what it is meant to communicate because he has picked to show the most important and memorable aspects of that certain object. He uses lots of texture and a kind of collage effect, with strong gestural lines. In the top image it looks like he has used some sort of etching technique to create this, which was possibly printed with monochrome on top of an existing colour print.
