The Tokyo Pop Icons series blends Western pop culture with the aesthetics and symbolism of Japanese urban life. Famous comic book characters and actors appear amidst cityscapes, interwoven with Japanese characters, street signs, and everyday symbols. Humorous elements—such as illogical directions or quirky sign combinations—create playful confusion and break familiar viewing habits.

Background and Context:
This series explores the global fascination with Japanese pop culture, which has influenced manga, anime, and street art for decades. At the same time, it reflects the impact of Western icons on Japan, where Hollywood movie characters and American comic figures often find their way into the urban landscape in unexpected ways. The dominant red and black color scheme reinforces the association with Japanese design, from traditional calligraphy to modern billboards in Tokyo’s bustling streets.
The works create a visual tension between order and chaos, nostalgia and modernity—a reflection of cultural fusion that makes Japan a unique place between tradition and the future.

The 16 selected works presented here form a cohesive yet varied glimpse into a broader body of work. They are issued as numbered, limited-edition fine art prints.
This curated selection includes 16 high-quality prints, released as a limited and numbered edition of 100 copies. The collection is presented as a compact art catalog aimed at collectors and enthusiasts of contemporary figurative illustration with a graphic and conceptual edge.

Artist Statement
This series is a study of the visual power of female figures – not as decorative objects, but as independent, self-determined presences. The superheroines are not portrayed as pop references, but as archetypes through which I explore themes like strength, identity, sexuality, and body awareness.
I am interested in the balance between control and expression, between line and surface, reduction and detail. The Japanese influences – found in composition, pose, or decorative elements – introduce a sense of calm structure that contrasts with the sensuality of the figures.
The works are created in mixed media: each medium contributing its own texture and character.
The goal is not to depict reality, but to condense it: to create figures that claim space and linger in the viewer’s mind beyond the frame.

Emma Wildfang is a young Pop Art and street artist whose works are part of collections around the world. Her unique visual language blends a sense of vintage aesthetics with the raw energy of urban expression. Though she attended a prestigious master class early in her career, she has been working as a self-taught artist since 2002 – driven by curiosity, experimentation, and a strong refusal to be creatively confined.

Her artistic process is in constant motion. Always in search of new materials, methods, and modes of expression, Wildfang has recently expanded her work into sculpture and spatial design. For her, working in three dimensions is not a departure from painting, but an extension of her visual vocabulary – a way to explore how line, form, and surface take on new meaning in space.
The name Wildfang seems almost prophetic. Her way of working is intuitive, bold, and at times impulsive. There‘s a creative restlessness that runs through her entire body of work. She does not seek perfection in the classical sense; instead, she finds beauty in the broken, the fragmented, the ambiguous.

Emma Wildfang believes that perfection lies in imperfection. In the uneven, the incomplete, and the unexpected, her art begins to breathe. Her work thrives in the in-between spaces – beyond polished surfaces, grounded firmly in process and presence.
