Tsunemasa Takahashi
Walls Tokyo is pleased to present "Treetop Flyer," a solo exhibition by Tsunemasa Takahashi.
Tsunemasa Takahashi was born in Tokyo in 1949. After studying at Sogei School of Fine Arts, he went to Europe to study under Ernst Fuchs and Rudolf Hausner, who were central members of the Vienna School.
After returning to Japan, he began working as an illustrator, and at the same time, exhibited his works as a painter in solo exhibitions.
With a thorough knowledge of various painting techniques, Takahashi has been pursuing the art of "painting" and has established a one-of-a-kind world view that is unrivaled in the world, made possible only by his enormous volume of work.
His somewhat humorous style shows the confidence and cheerfulness of a man who refuses to fit himself into a mold, and who has crossed the muddy path of painting with just one arm.
In his work, there is a freedom that can only be acquired by someone who has accumulated such experience, who has the ability to be critical and tolerant, and who puts all of his effort into his work.
As if to demonstrate the beauty that exists in a world where efficiency, rationality, and usefulness are so heavily emphasized these days, Takahashi continues to pursue possibilities in artistic expression, which can only be found by taking detours.
This exhibition will provide an overview of Tsunemasa Takahashi's work from the 1980s to recent years.
