  Isaki Uta has quickly become one of my favorite artists to keep up with, as their work is always full of interesting visual and thematic ideas centered around exploring the experiences of outsiders and outliers to a societal status quo. Silkscreen is no exception, depicting the struggle between living in conformity to social pressure or living authentically in defiance of them in a compelling, thoughtful way. Even if they feel their art is simpler than normal, I think Uta masterfully employs their visual metaphors with great depth, heightening the impact of the beats of their story and the themes theyre communicating. Theyre a phenomenal storyteller that knows how to make the most of their art to leave an impact on their readers, and Im excited to see what kinds of stories theyll tell next. I look forward to the next time I can lift the veil up on Utas work and explore the boundless worlds of their imagination once again. Read Full Review
