“The work of ONEQ, a completely self-taught Japanese illustrator, is an example of what effect influences from all places – gathered from growing up in such a pop culture and image laden era – can have on a complex, artistic mind.
Ability to simplify defines understanding a subject completely and (perhaps subconsciously) ONEQ does just that. Her art is a phenomenon of simply beautiful pop born from her obsession with Manga and American illustrators (One American illustrator ONEQ mentions is Simon Bisley, who no doubt influences the erotic nature of her drawings) with themes derived from her life growing up in a coastal Japanese city.
