The second half of the diptych, and the half with the artist's own story at its centre. In his published statement: "The inclusion of the VW Beetle in Cherry Blossom II also has a very personal meaning; it was my first car and I restored it with my stepfather, it was also the means for getting to art college and finding independence". The cosy room is still invaded by time passing, the fragility of memory: a cracked vase, a barbed wire fence, a fire, rain clouds, and finally the cherry blossom, which in Japanese culture is a reminder that life is overwhelmingly beautiful, but also tragically short.

British contemporary artist Dan Baldwin (b. 1972, Manchester) began at Eastbourne College of Art and Design in 1995 and received a BA (Hons) from Kent Institute of Art and Design, later working as a studio associate tutoring younger students before moving to Brighton. Pop Art has always been a major influence, alongside Sir Peter Blake, Jean-Michel Basquiat, David Hockney and Robert Rauschenberg. After a brief appearance on the BBC's 'The Apprentice' in 2005, Baldwin became a full-time artist, with a 9-day group show in the windows of Selfridges, Oxford Street and two solo shows at Forster Gallery, Shoreditch. His work has been exhibited worldwide including Basel, Tokyo, Miami and New York, and his collectors include Damien Hirst, Gilbert & George, Jake Chapman, Sir Elton John and Jo Whiley. His motifs recur and contradict: skeletons, swallows, crucifixes, children's book illustrations, robins, knives and flowers, symbols of death, life and love reflecting his preoccupation with the big questions of human existence.
