Venue Kitakyushu Municipal Museum of Art, Collection Exhibition Room, Main Building
We feature Takeshi Tanaka (1982-), a native of Kitakyushu City who is active mainly in Tokyo and Kansai.
His world view is appealing because he expresses today's themes, such as problems and incidents in modern society, using traditional Japanese and Chinese painting techniques and a witty point of view.
New works to be created for this exhibition are also noteworthy.
