About

Shotaro Kitada is a Japan-based artist working both domestically and internationally. He creates paper-based animations and visual works that fuse handcrafted paper craft with visual storytelling. While his work possesses a sense of reality that cannot be found in paintings or CG, it also features awkward movements, peculiar scale, and a uniform world that together create a subtle sense of unease. By combining scenes from everyday life and social events, he produces humorous and thought-provoking images. British media outlet It’s Nice That described his approach as “an innovative way of achieving an awkward, not so perfect style.”
