Madsaki's unruly acrylic and aerosol paintings mimic famous advertisements, movies, and artwork. The Osaka-born, New Jersey-raised, Tokyo-based artist often filters famous compositions or movie scenes through his own graffiti style, resulting in simplified, uncanny new images.Madsaki attended Parsons School of Design and graduated in 1996. Soon after, he exhibited in galleries in Tokyo, Seoul, Los Angeles, and New York. He has also found success on the secondary market, with his paintings regularly selling for six-figure sums. Drawing from the artist's experience of cultural transience, Madsaki's approachable style and instantly recognizable subject matter critique the values of the art world.
