In Colorful Silence, the artist depicts an adventure in which his spaceship and helmet were destroyed in space, and he can now live in a peaceful, silent world. The airbrushed style and pastel to acidic color, with the main character looking more blasé than sad, makes the work moody and almost meditative thanks to the soft, floating movement.
Redkam is an animator making hand-drawn works.

To free himself from this chaotic world, Redkam went up to the colorful space with his pet named Umineko. The spaceship he traveled with broke into pieces and so did his helmet, but turned out he was actually an alien capable of breathing in space. Now Redkam and his pet could live peacefully in this colorful silence.

In this selection we look at the concept of kawaii to horror, which features as an inspiration in many NFTs. 
 
Kawaii in Japanese culture refers to what is lovely, cute, adorable and derives from the saying kao hayhushi, which means one’s face is blushing as well as (from other morphemes) dazzling, glaring, and awkward/embarrassing. It is embodied by humans and non-humans, anthropomorphic creatures that are charming, vulnerable, shy, and childlike.
 
It is seen as a rebellious style against adulthood but originally, in the 1970s, it characterized a new style of writing at school where pupils would use thin pencil and stylized their texts with lines, hearts, stars, and Latin characters. It was adopted as a trend against the rigidity of the post-WWII Japanese government. The style was recuperated by brands and advertising such as the stationery company Sanrio launching a series of products with Hello Kitty characters. This genre is present but also mixed with another side of kawaii, pleasing and pastel-soft but leaning toward the anxiogenic, horror side of storytelling, also known as gurokawa or creepy cute.
These works will take you on a journey from the cute to the uncanny dread of horror.
