About the Item

Takuma Tanaka is a Japanese contemporary artist born in 1977, who likes to use our consciousness in the world as a prevalent theme in his work. From early childhood, he has always enjoyed the study of several subjects which he later reflects in his art. In his own words: “I think art is related to many studies. For example, by using pigment and so on, it merges with chemistry, or while selling art we have to apply economy and marketing. And even so when we make art we must also learn psychology to attract people. From economy and sociology, 'Capitalism' series, 'Human sushi' series. It seems these themes are unrelated, but thanks to Takashi Tachibana, I learned that it is important to find connections within each study. Doing this allows me to continue learning and finding interest in many different topics which I later express through my art.”

This beautiful blue painting is by Japanese artist, Takefumi Hori. He was born in Tokyo, Japan. He paints beautiful gold leaf paintings. This piece is acrylic, gold leaf and metal leaf on canvas. The artist studied calligraphy in Japan. In 2004 he moved to New York where he began painting abstract works of acrylic on canvas. Since 2009, Takefumi has been making gold and colored abstract works. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn where he is surrounded by the hustle and bustle of everyday urban life. The energy of New York City is an inspiration. His use of gold as a main material came about after long and intensive experiments. His compositional forms such as circles, squares and rectangles are ideal forms for gold to work with other colors in his work. The compositions of these elements are based on his experience with Japanese calligraphy. He merges the traditions of Eastern and Western art. His works are in numerous collections including Tiffany and Co., Claridges Hotel...
