Masakatsu Iwamoto
Masakatsu Iwamoto is a contemporary artist living and working in Saitama, Japan, just outside Tokyo. His name, Mr., was borrowed from Japan’s Mr. Baseball, Shigeo Nagashima.〔Maerkle, Andrew, "Mr.: Out of Body Experience", Art Asia Pacific, May 2007〕 He graduated from the Department of Fine Arts, Sokei Art School in Tokyo in 1996. He began garnering attention with his drawing of anime-style characters on the backs of shopping receipts he had gathered from his daily purchases.
The Otaku subculture emerged in Japan in the 1970s and consisted mostly of males who were consumed by manga comics, anime animation, sci-fi literature and video games.〔Grassmuck, Volker "I'm alone, but not lonely", December 1990〕 Mr.'s paintings and sculptures are influenced by this movement. He produces at times sexually explicit works that comment on the Lolita-esque fantasies prevalent in the Otaku culture.〔Smith, Roberta, Art in Review: Mr., The New York Times, June 22, 2007〕
Mr. was discovered by Takashi Murakami in 1995 and since then has been involved with Murakami's art organization Kaikai Kiki.〔O’Steen, Danielle, “The Talented Mr.”, Art + Auction, May 2007〕 Recently, Mr.'s work was on view at the Musée d'Art Contemporain de Lyon with fellow Kaikai Kiki artists Chiho Aoshima and Aya Takano.〔Sullivan, Eve, “Chiho Aoshima, Mr. and Aya Takano”, Contemporary, December 2006〕 In 2005, he was included in the acclaimed exhibition "Little Boy: The Arts of Japan's Exploding Subculture" at Japan Society in New York.〔Heartney, Eleanor, “The Marriage of Trauma and Kitsch”, Art in America, October 2005〕
