gallery UG Tennoz is pleased to present a solo exhibition "Life Is Good" by artist Takaoki TAJIMA, on view from Friday, November 6 through Saturday, November 28, 2026.



So, I suppose there’s nothing else to do but make what I like, however I like.

When a piece is finished, I put it in a corner of the studio, fold my arms, and look at it with a smile.

There are plenty of unpleasant things in life, and sad things too.
Things that make me angry.
Most things don’t turn out the way I expect.
And the next day, I make something again.

If I manage to paint a lemon and a blue table in beautiful colors,
then getting furious, teeth bared, over how difficult it was to order something on a touchscreen somehow doesn’t seem to matter anymore.
