Ryu Enami

Unlike the smooth, photorealistic airbrush work of his contemporary Noriyoshi Ohrai, Enami’s art is jagged, rough, and explosive. His characters are not posed; they are caught in motion . Faces are often twisted in rage or agony, rendered with thick, dark outlines. His use of color is particularly striking: he loved to juxtapose hot magentas, sickly yellows, and deep blacks against cold blues and whites.
