This years Pintura Obscura theme is “Pastel Gore”. Pastel gore is an art form where the subject is colorful in Pastel color tones, but still has a “dark art aesthetic”. The kawaii culture often depicts cuteness overload in Japan. Images, and characters, like “Hello Kitty”, help cheer you up from the everyday mundane world. The dark version of Kawaii is called Yami Kawaii, where the word “yamii” translates to darkness. This subculture in Japan incorporates elements of harsh realities like illness, mental health, death or depression, in a “cute” way using a pastel color pallet.
Pintura Obscura is in its 3rd annual dark arts themed exhibit. Created to showcase dark and whimsical artists who have an obscure point of view.
