‘Reaching back through space and time to Ukiyo-e masters of the past.’

Bram Tan is an artist with an industrial design background. He enjoys thinking broadly about the world and how everything technological works. He also believes that artistic pursuit is an affirmation to oneself that the future WILL be positive and good. He makes Ukiyo-e prints with a 3D printer. Ukiyo-e is a genre of Japanese art which flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries.
