Ito Seisen

Seisen Ito is from Shinjuku Ward of Tokyo, Japan.

He has successfully created a beautiful world of his own which merges East and West through a wide variety of expressive techniques, from air brush to logotype to Sumie ink brush painting.

Seisen drew a lot of album jackets for musicians, domestic and overseas, of diverse musical genres while having live painting sessions with a lot of musicians.

He also has conducted a broad range of creative activities across categories, such as creating book covers, event posters, flyers and mural paintings, and art directions of painting exhibitions, and doing art works for commercial facilities, etc.

Seisen held his first private art show in California, U.S.A, in 2005.

He has gained a high reputation from both domestic and international communities.

Commentary on the artist

Seisen Ito is relaying a perpetual vision, like a resurgent painter for Ukiyoe prints, as a catalyst to encourage and foresee the beginning of pulsation of the heaven, the earth and the god (man) of a new era and an art initiator toward transformation in this age when we human beings are forced to purify and change ourselves.

He is the Japanese artist, I would say, who can conjure up the empathy and the sense of beauty we retain in the depth of our DNA, and provoke what is half forgotten that still remains in the mentality of us, modern people.
