This book will cover works from 2007 to recent times, and convey the magnitude of this contemporary artist's pieces. In spite of the rich creativity and color, many of the works also reveal a sharp criticism of the modern world. With themes as varying as simple kitchens, expansive cities, and the political borders of countries, the phantasmagoric nature of the world he draws comes as a welcome surprise.

Oscar Oiwa is known for his multicultural, detailed, and figurative oil painting. He often depicts worlds closely familiar and yet unexpected— imaginary urban landscapes seen from multiple points of view.
