Madsaki

MADSAKI, born in Osaka, Japan, and raised in New Jersey, is an internationally acclaimed

contemporary artist known for his satirical and boundary-pushing works that blend humor,

critique, and nostalgia. A graduate of Parsons School of Design in New York, MADSAKI

developed a signature style that combines raw, graffiti-inspired aesthetics with poignant

commentary on consumerism, pop culture, and societal norms.

MADSAKI’s work often reimagines iconic imagery, from classical masterpieces to pop culture

references, using bold, loose brushstrokes and spray paint to create a sense of raw energy and

imperfection. His “Wannabe” series, which reinterprets famous works of art, exemplifies his

ability to challenge traditional notions of artistic value while making fine art more accessible to a

broader audience.

Rooted in themes of identity and cultural duality, MADSAKI’s work reflects his personal

experiences as a Japanese artist raised in the United States, bridging Eastern and Western

influences in a uniquely compelling way. His pieces resonate with a sense of rebellion and

vulnerability, inviting viewers to confront their own perceptions of art and culture.

MADSAKI’s work has been exhibited in leading galleries and institutions around the world,

including collaborations with Takashi Murakami and appearances in major art fairs. Through his

innovative and irreverent approach, MADSAKI has established himself as a bold and influential

voice in contemporary art, continuing to captivate audiences with his unapologetic creativity.
