Satoru Imatake is a Japanese artist who depicts a dystopian Japanese reality, focusing on the ugly side of everyday life in Tokyo. His characters are lookalike businessmen who do childlike activities and are portrayed in a satirical way.
Imatake comments on the estranged Japanese society, its strict structure and its mentality. The artist shows his identical crowd going to the beach and using the subway, critisizing controvrsial issues from public health to government surveillance. “The main theme is to draw the humanity in modern society, with irony,” he writes on his behance profile and we can all agree, he is doing just so.
