SAGE Studio + Blu Dot "The Maine Coon is Having a Fluffy Day Because it's with Her Sisters"

Artist King Nobuyoshi Godwin’s incredibly detailed paintings often depict elements of the natural world juxtaposed with the synthetic vibrance of neon colors. Godwin has autism and a form of synesthesia, a condition in which the perception of one sensory experience triggers another. For Godwin, numbers are connected to feelings and experiential stories. He creates his work in three stages, first laying down a bright base coat, and then painting the subject using a complex system of colors and numbers to express how he is feeling. Finally, Godwin uses Japanese paint markers to fill his canvas until every inch is covered with numbers, and he has achieved a kaleidoscopic effect that is both beautiful and highly meaningful.
