In this article, I will write about the art industry in the wake of the corona disaster.

Restaurants were particularly damaged by the new coronavirus.

So how was the art industry undergo?

Before the emerge of coronavirus, it was common to visit museums and galleries to view artworks.

However, this situation has now changed.

The pandemic has forced museums and galleries to close their doors.

As a result, artists have lost the opportunity to show and sell their works, and have been put in a difficult situation.

People are now less likely to visit the sites and see the works.

In response to this, the art industry is trying to regain its footing online.

Nowadays, you can freely view artworks online without going out.

And there are some benefits exclusive online, like interviews and discussions of those professionals.

Takuma Tanaka has been presenting and selling his works online for the past three years.

The advantage of online is that you can see the work from a distance without having to visit the studio.

On the other hand, there is a weak point that the texture and size of the work cannot be conveyed.

However, the use of images and video is beginning to make up for this shortcoming as much as possible.

At the Takuma Tanaka Studio, we have taken measures to prevent corona infection, so you can feel at ease when you visit the studio.

If you would like to visit us, please feel free to do so.

That's it for this time. Thank you very much for your time.

A interview about Takuma’s vision is now published on Yahoo! Finance.

How to think that we are less than moss

I happened to watch a news program and saw the snowfall information on my cell phone.

The world is a mess, and everyone is full of complaints. After all, there are risks like hyperinflation. It's no laughing matter for the wealthy. People who don't have money are also not funny. It is society that supports people, but society is also affected by the corona, global climate change, changes in the universe, changes in the sun's activity, and so on.

Humans happen to be living on the surface of this planet like moss in an interglacial period. We may look like we own the planet, but in the eyes of the whole world, we are nothing more than a thickened moss. Furthermore, we are one of the 7 billion or so people in the world, and we are no better than moss.

If you look at it that way, you don't have to be overly happy or sad about the human world, yourself, or the relationships around you.

This way of thinking is a core concept for me. It leads to the story of human sushi, which is also about looking at people from a bird's eye view and reflecting on the brutality of their actions. Also, the Cake Ship series is about a cake and a human being, which at first glance is difficult to connect, but when you look at the elements of the composition, the chemical formula of the carbohydrate cake is (CH2O)n, which is close to that of a human being, which is made up of H2O (human) and C (carbon). In fact, they have a lot in common.

In addition, the chromosomes of women and men are almost the same, and Mona Lisa depicted the faces of men and women on the same screen, and Picasso made it easier to understand.

Furthermore, there is a theory that humans and other living things have almost 99% of their DNA in common, and the idea of trees growing out of our heads was born out of the awareness that if hair can grow, then grass and even trees can grow out of our heads.

Although they are said to be different at first glance, the world is made up of a core of similarities, so if you take this into consideration, the core of my series of works is a reminder to not get too caught up in the details.

Art saved me during the most difficult time of my life. And now, with the support of many fans, I am able to make a living as a painter.

Now it is my turn to help those who have lost hope.

I'm thinking of calling it the Takuma Car Project, where I'll be working with the people who have been suffering from the coronavirus pandemic to make painted cars to sell as a charity project.

First of all, I'm going to auction off my paint car from December 25 to January 10. Since the awareness of painted cars is low in Japan, it will also serve as an advertisement. At the same time, we are asking for people who want to paint on the cars or who have lost their jobs.

In the second half of January, myself and some unemployed people will paint small paintings on the cars of those who want to be painted. Our team will gradually improve their skills, and when we get used to it, we will paint a whole car to make a painted car.

I've been painting for more than 15 years now, and I've come to feel that art is like air. This is both a good thing and a bad thing.

I've come to believe that the people who view art are also taking it for granted, just like me.

But in fact, this is not the case. I realized that there are many people who don't know much about art, but think it's somehow good or interesting.

There is a beautiful work of art painting stained glass in Ueno Station, the center of Tokyo. But no one stops to look at it.

I finally realized that those who have a strong interest in art, who think and feel a lot of things are in the minority in this world.

There is an artist called Banksy. He creates controversy by painting on the walls of towns and shredding sold works at auction houses.

He's not reaching out to core art lovers, but to people of around it, people who don't know about art but are interested in it.

Again, the question remains as to whether people are attracted to and react to the artistry or not.I found "artistry" to be a difficult and elusive subject.
