Japanese illustrator Tadahiro Uesugi is rightfully considered a master of light and shadow, the combinations of which in his drawings are truly perfect. And the passion for contemplation, which seems to be innate among the Japanese, allows him to portray the world around him so peaceful and relaxed that it seems like an ideal place for relaxation and philosophy. Tadahiro Uesugi's drawings are easily recognizable among many similar ones, and despite the fact that the characters living on the canvases are painfully similar to each other, the author can in no way be accused of imitating himself, or, even worse, of being of the same type and unoriginal …
Looking at the proud profiles of fashionable young ladies strolling the streets, sitting in the park or shopping, it's not hard to guess where Tadahiro Uesugi's work can be seen. Of course, first of all, these are glossy women's magazines - by the way, at one time the artist worked in the French Elle, publications about fashion and style, and only then - comics, emblems, catalogs, covers of books and music albums, website design and much other.
But back to the long-nosed young ladies, whose profiles are the calling card of the Japanese animator. Each owner of such a profile has her own life and her own worries, which, for some reason, known only to Tadahiro Uesugi, she tries to solve on her own, alone. So, graceful ladies with their heads held high and in the same proud loneliness enjoy autumn on a park bench, stomp through puddles with dignity, get on a tram or breathe the Parisian air, gazing at the Eiffel Tower. For this work, Tadahiro Uesugi is called "the festival of loneliness".
And who knows what the real reason for the loneliness of these girls is … Either they are too proud and self-sufficient, or they are simply unlucky in their personal lives …
