The man is a master of light and shadow. What I found personally odd is quite a few of the images had a haunting sense of familiarity about them. I couldn’t shake the impression that he had illustrated placed that I had visited. I could almost smell the fog and hear the birds chirping.

I became a fan of his work throuh visiting the Drawing Board. He definitely depicts areas that seem familiar, even if you haven’t visited them.

Most of his illustrations have a very strong sense of architectural place. Some employ very realistic perspective views. Some of the city scenes are allmost photo-realistic, to a large part because of his use of perspective. He uses building elements ant emphatic perspective vanishing points to create a sense of space.

Afgelopen week ontdekte ik het werk van Tadahiro Uesugi een Japanse illustrator met een grote poëtische verbeelding. Zijn voorstellingen zijn zowel uit het dagelijks leven gegrepen als een verstilde werkelijkheid waarin kleurvlakken en het ritme van de lijnen een dichterlijke taal; spreken. illustraties van Tadahiro Uesugi His work leaves me speechless, and if you know me, that’s saying a lot. Tadahiro Uesugi is probably one of the most intuitive illustrators I’ve seen. Stumbling upon his site several years ago, I could not stop clicking.
