Naoto Hattori has added a few new original paintings to his online shop. Whenever he does this, they tend to go pretty fast. All of the new paintings are miniatures, so none of them are over 4″ x 6″, until the frames are added at least.
Head on over and check em out. Naoto Hattori Store
Coming April 4th at the Copro Gallery is “Overdose”, a new group show by Hi Fructose. One of the pieces for the show is “The North Wind and the Sun”. The painting is a parody of Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus and Aesop’s Fable “The North Wind and the Sun”. I love much of Naoto’s art, but this has to be my favorite piece from him so far; I am a big fan of Botticelli. The painting is sold already, but a print of it has been added to Naoto’s online shop. The print is 16″ x 20″ signed and numbered in an edition of 50.
I hope Naoto does some more classical figurative pieces like this one.

Naoto Hattori has added a resin figure to his online shop. This new figure was hand painted and created by the artist. It is 9.5 inches tall, made of resin acrylic and silicon.
It looks pretty killer and I hope to see more figures like this from Naoto in the future. He also has some new paintings as well if you look in the originals section.
