Komatssu

Komatssu is a contemporary artist duo comprised of Japanese twin sisters, Eru and Emi, renowned for their playful and thought-provoking works that blend pop culture, fashion, and social commentary. Born in Tokyo in 1977, the twins began collaborating in the late 1990s, quickly cultivating a distinctive visual language characterized by vibrant colors, bold lines, and a unique sense of whimsy. Their art often features recurring motifs such as masked figures, cats, and everyday objects, reflecting both personal narratives and broader cultural observations.

Komatssu’s work spans painting, mural, sculpture, and installations, with a particular emphasis on the interplay between innocence and subversion. Their pieces have been exhibited in galleries and museums across Japan, Europe, and the United States, earning them international recognition and a dedicated following. Through their dynamic collaborations, Komatssu continues to explore themes of identity, globalization, and imagination, making them one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary art.
