For "Picturesque"
As expected, the front of the latest Kinokuniya catalogue reproduces the winning entry from their Digital Art Prize 2008: Marcia Carvalho Costa's "Unhappy Beauty". It's a hyper-stylised head'n'shoulders portrait of a hooded woman done in white, greys, red-browns and black. Her long hair obscures one eye. The tear she's shedding from the other is barely noticeable amid the organic patterns swirling about. I reckon it's reminiscent of the marvellous illos of Japan's Symbolon, although this figure isn't a silhouette.
