Kazuyuki Takishita
Takishita Kazuyuki’s life work involves the “Momotaro” series, depicting humorous and cute ogres that are very lively. Aside from the ogres, his expressions pivot around such traditional Japanese themes as “Fujin Raijin (Wind God and Thunder God),” “Ryuko (dragons and tigers)” and so on, using an incomparable sense of space and plenty of imagination. Takishita’s unconventional works feature unique line drawings carved into the panels with a sculptor’s knife as well as the use of acrylic paint, and are exhibited at and collected by art museums throughout Japan including the Menard Art Museum (Aichi), the Narukawa Art Museum (Hakone), the Contemporary Art Museum, Kumamoto. In addition, Takishita also works in a wide range of fields, such as the production of picture books, plush toys, and playing cards, not to mention collaborations with late grand champion sumo wrestler Chiyonofuji and the “Takarasienne (Takarazuka Revue Performers).” The exhibition introduces his “Momotaro” drawing series, a new series of sumo wrestler drawings, engravings, and more, along with “Demon Figure DX” (in five colors), a new experimental work about 60cm in size. Related goods will also be available for purchase.
