Artists

Shibuya Tadaomi
What, most of the many who have seen Shibuya Tadaomi’s works are impressed with, is their vividness, bursting with colors. His works grab the audience’s attention with distinctive linear beauty and bright colors on the canvas.
His style, expressing his unique interpretation of elements of product design and hip hop from which he received tremendous influence, is a concentrated form of his desire to “provide enjoyment” and to “put smiles on people’s faces.” Subjects of his works vary from people to animals/plants or food, and showcase his unique, majestic, beautiful vision of a world that is neither digital nor analog.
Colors help create his vivid works, but his idea of the word 'iro', which means color in Japanese, “does not simply point to pigments that gives color to objects. It is used in various contexts, such as to describe facial countenance, the progression of the season of autumn, the tone of sounds, the allure of feminine charms, and colorfulness. And, there is a certain “atmosphere” to the word 'iro'; a nuance of humane warmth. I wanted to express such warmth and fun of daily lives surrounded by various forms of iro.”
And this was how this exhibition came to be titled “Colours”. The butterfly, the motif of the main visual, is the being that carries out his wish; they flit about this colorful exhibition, delivering its visitors “joys and smiles transcending barriers of ethnicity and ideologies.” Come let the butterflies guide you through Shibuya Tadaomi vivid world of 'iro'.
