Nigamushi is a Tokyo-based artist known for his vibrantly colored graphic paintings that fuse eastern and western traditions by combining absurdist characters from Japanese traditions with Americana iconography and Pop Art. As he painted this particular mural, he witnessed hundreds of pigeons flying in the area. So he decided to incorporate the pigeon into the mural as a symbol where the Japanese and American cultures can converge. You can see other works by him at Hellion Gallery which is located across the street from the mural, on the second floor (by appointment only).
