Chiho Aoshima

Another one of my favourite artists. She never had an formal art education, but managed to develop her own unique and colourful style. Using computer software she creates a world of ghosts, demons, schoolgirls, all in a very dreamy atmosphere. I love the clear lines and the colours are just fantastic. For the guys in London: you may remember the installation she had in Gloucester Rd tube station a few years back.

Stéphane Delaprée

I came across the gallery of Stéphane Delapree (or 'Stef') while travelling in Cambodia. His brightly coloured paintings often depict scenes of daily life in Cambodia, and his colourful cartoon-like style suits that theme very well. See his work on his site: http://www.happypainting.net/
