Takashi Wakamatsu

Born in 1982 in Tokyo. For a long time, he has turned commonplace landscapes, such as cityscapes and scenes of people, into works with his unique sensibility and expression techniques. It is interesting that the screen composition has become more abstract, through 3 years of solo and group exhibitions in Singapore, Tokyo, and Paris.

He says, “It is difficult to convey to the viewer the beauty that I feel in this world as it is. I feel that it is necessary to extract only the essence of such beauty and express it.” Indeed, when comparing recent and earlier works, one can perceive the same sense of color and compositional beauty when viewed from a distance, but the way in which they are concretely expressed on the screen seems to be quite different. However, even with this abstract approach, his way of looking at things has not changed at all. It expresses a gentle gaze that affirms the world. The world is full of beauty.
