Salomè micropop series: newpop e superflat high value

The series of artworks of "Micropop" by Tomoko Nagao "TOMOKO" dedicated to Salomè is complete for its first part. the first group of works of this genre are divided into "micro Salome", "heads in the dish" and "large format".  the relationship between East and West is reconfirmed strong and renewed, with a very fine painting technique and quality, due to the "superflat" Japanese master of Tomoko, his cool sensei Yoshitomo Nara.

The character of the various representative Salomè, is expressed in the hair color and the color of the ribbon (ribbon on the hair, such as Hello Kitty). The technique of giving a character to characters, depending on the color of the hair, comes from the cultures of Mangaka and picked up by Tomoko as OTAKU reader of manga.
