Makoto Fujimura

Cantilever created and maintains a website that showcases Makoto Fujimura’s world-renown artwork and philosophy.

About The Client

Makoto Fujimura is a Japanese-American fine artist, writer, speaker, and theologian.

Challenge

Create an online experience that allowed for a true experience of the artists work, while organically integrating his extensive catalog of writings.

Meeting this ideal also required that we reflect the artists' minimalist sensibilities, broad range, narrative process and roots in Japanese art.

Solution

Cantilever met with Makoto to deeply understand his philosophy and style.

We developed a visual language that spoke to Makoto’s spirit while not distracting from the artwork, including unique bespoke visual effects and animations.

We work with Makoto and his team to keep the website sharp and timely. We are honored to be a part of his artistic movement.

Result

  • Married Mako’s aesthetic with cutting edge digital design to create a one-of-a-kind piece of artistic expression
  • Met accessibility standards without sacrificing creative freedom
  • Integrated a modern CMS so Mako and his team can maintain the site without external support
