Tajima TAKAOKI’s talent for color and spatial composition plays a crucial role in his wooden sculptures and is also evident in his two-dimensional artwork.
The characters in his backgrounds convey a sense of mystery through their expressions and movements, set against simple yet striking compositions that emphasize the relationships between adjacent colors.
His popularity has been growing steadily and shows no signs of slowing down. It's not just Japan that's taking notice; he held a solo exhibition in New York in 2020. In 2022, his rock-and-roll spirit ignited once again, despite global trends, with his debut series of lithographs, "LIFE," a humorous reflection on half of his life.
"The Tajima Revolution" is reaching its peak, marking a significant era in his career. His sophisticated approach to expressing cynical themes with a touch of humor has earned him widespread acclaim and recognition.
