Yu Yasuda b.1982

Yu Yasuda was born in 1982 in Japan. He graduated from Musashino Art University with a master degree in oil painting in 2007，which was considered as the best Japanese art schools. He has been working in the art circle soon after graduation and participated in multiple joint exhibitions in Japan and overseas. Although his seniority in professional artist is still young，he has been well recognized by the museum and exhibition planners as a new star of Japanese contemporary art society.

This “On the Beach” was created in 2007 and was one of the early works by Yu Yasuda when he just graduated from the university，featuring topics in daily life. Yu Yasuda started his creation since 2005 and applied city view sketch with figurative approach. We can grasp the artistic language and expression inclination of his early works through this work. “On the Beach” expresses a fantasy based on surrealism，where the shadow of people strolling on colorful beach connects with the ocean at night，corresponding to the swinging stars in the sky. The image by Yu Yasuda is not a traditional scenery painting but a fairy tales with dreamy colors. We observe the development orientation of Yu Yasuda through flowing colors and lines. His relaxing touch and vague outline continue to blossom in future creations，and finally forming his abstract visual language in 2008. Therefore the early works by him become increasingly valuable.
