Congratulations to the wonderful Gen Arai on his inclusion in this year’s American Illustration catalogue.  He secured two spots, which is an enormous honour and so well deserved.

Gen Arai has a way of depicting landscapes steeped in memory and nostalgia. His handling of light and shade in this exquisite cover image brings back summers past and asks questions about the reliability of rose-tinted recollections. Gen has created an array of landscapes that bring into focus seasonal changes and our response to our constantly changing environment.
