Most of us try to hang on to that limbo between sleep and wakefulness as long as we can. It’s a place where ideas come unbidden and connect fluidly, where we’re aware enough of our control to create new dreams consciously, where the warm fog of dreams is slowly roiling with shafts of daylight just beyond our closed eyes. That’s the sort of in-between that the work of Yuta Onoda occupies. Between Classical Japanese and Art Deco in style. Between Impressionism and Surrealism in meaning. The rising sun meets metropolitan modern in the strange clarity of that very last dream before we open our eyes.
