Artist Spotlight: Yu Maeda

You’d think with all the skulls, knives, brains, blood and other oozing liquids that Yu Maeda’s work would feel a lot more sinister, but there’s something a really fun energy to it all. The LA-based artist (originally from Kumamoto, Japan) was recently part of big show at Superchief Gallery (NY) and the image above is a mural painted inside the gallery.
