Stencil Art “Mathilda with a Doll”&“Mathilda with a Plant” by Kansuke Akaike Available Now!

We are excited to inform you that brand new artwork created by Japanese artist Kansuke Akaike is now available on our site. We have released two limited edition stencil art pieces. The first one is entitled “Mathilda with a Doll” and the other is entitled “Mathilda with a Plant”. Both were created by the artist with intricate stencils and an airbrush with acrylic paint. We also have a special version of each painting  featuring, respectively, a hand painted pink heart background or blue star background. 

Kansuke started his project “Stay Home Art Project” in April, 2020 where he has been posting portraits of celebrities requested by his Instagram followers. He is still currently posting portraits-such as major league baseball player Shohei Ohtani, former lead singer of American rock band Linkin Park Chester Bennington, and MMA fighter Ian McCall-on Instagram as recently as June 2020. He says “I want to create artworks through this project that can be a source of emotional support for people staying at home right now”. 

Both “Mathilda with a Doll” & “Mathilda with a Plant” were created with the same motivation as “Stay Home Art Project”. The girl depicted in these works of art is put in a situation where she must stay at home like we did. She tries to stay positive by believing in the coming of a bright future with her strong heart. We hope that Kansuke’s works of art will bring positive emotions into your lives.
