2023 IYAC "Academy Award" 丨Tokyo IYAC Illustration Award
From the time of the explosion of life during the Cambrian Era, through the era of the Nautilus Ocean, the Devonian era, the fern forests, to the world of the dinosaurs in the Cretaceous; and from the age of mammals to the arrival of humans, one sees the magic and power of life during the Earth’s 4.6 billion years of existence. Across the vastness of space and time, we can appreciate the diversity of life and its evolution by studying the ecology of forests. Forests make the processes of life visible, sharing the joy of the changing seasons -- the flourishing of spring and summer, the trees sculpting in autumn and winter. Decay and death, vitality and renewal, the cycle continues.
—— Dr. John Francis Larner
Creative Theme With this theme of “Forest Story,” we bring together stories of forests, both mysterious and urban. These depict the story of evolution on Earth, the fascinating and often strange world of biology, the synchronized and overlapping heartbeat of nature and human beings.
Our call also aims to allow young artists to use painting to gain a deeper understanding of the world we live in, to use their brushes and imagination to explore creatures and their environment, and to examine the complex and intimate interrelationship between human beings and living things.
