Moon Child

Roamcouch (b. Ryo Ogaya, 1976, Japan) “Moon Child” (2020) Limited edition, 17-color, hand-pulled screen print on 310 gsm fine art paper. The sheet measures 34 x 24, has been signed and numbered (40/150) by the artist, and placed in a black metal frame measuring 36.25 x 24.25 inches. Depicted is the outside of a dream house with children positioned in various locations (on the roof, chimney, a ladder, etc.) Some are carrying paint rollers and have evidently been “tagging” the outside of the house with colorful words and symbols. Now the figures on the roof are reaching up in the sky to expand the enhancement of their environment by painting the moon with a rainbow of graffiti.

A similar image was the result of an original collaboration between Roamcouch and artist Chengxiang Shang. This version is Roamcouch’s own personal interpretation of the project. Drip Art
