We had a very meaningful discussion that will lead to the future.
I thank for him.

We start TV show around Tokyo area.

Here are some examples of how customers who have actually purchased the artworks are using them to decorate their homes.

Mr. Y, Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, 50s

The customer has a real estate office in his house, and he decorated the space from the entrance to the office on the first floor.

The following items were displayed in the space from the entrance to the office on the first floor.

Blue Rose (left), a print work

A traveling rabbit (right), a custom-made work

Two pieces.

The black of the traveling rabbit and the black of the staircase going up to the second floor match each other beautifully.

Incidentally, the custom-made work is a portrait of Takuma Tanaka, who has always traveled together with a stuffed rabbit like a family member in Turkey, a memorable place for Mr. Y's hobby of traveling abroad.

While his overseas trips have been far away due to COVID-19, he seems to recall his favorite time by looking at the painting.

Many of the people who purchase art at Takuma Tanaka Studio are financially comfortable. Some may spend their money on brand-name goods or luxury cars, but I think that many of them spend their money with an emphasis on inner richness rather than outer assertiveness.

We are exposed to a lot of information in our uncertain daily lives, which can unknowingly wear on our nerves, but I feel that it is very important to have time to feel at ease with who we are through items that regularly bring us back to our "self-love.

Here is an introduction to Takuma Tanaka's life as an artist.

Takuma Tanaka did not start making art at an early age. He was just an ordinary student, but when he was in his 20s, he had a mental breakdown. As part of his treatment, he discovered art. He started art as a way to vent his frustrations, but eventually he began taking painting classes and discovered the appeal of art.

One year later, I was hooked on art.

Takuma Tanaka, who had become so absorbed in art that he began to create his own works, started selling his paintings on the street, not knowing where he was going or what he was doing.

On the first day of the street sale, he packed 10 paintings in a bag and lined them up on the street. Within half a day, he had only three paintings left. Takuma was shocked at the rapid sales, even though he had only been doing art for a year, and went home to paint even more pictures.

Through these street sales, Takuma has interacted with many people and has come to feel that human connection is something of value that cannot be replaced by money.

One of Takuma Tanaka's works is a portrait using digital art, and it is a work that utilizes the sensitivity he has gained through communication with the many people he has met.

Takuma Tanaka Studio provides various services so that customers who purchase art can enjoy their art life with peace of mind.

One of them has a strong entertainment element, and there is an icing cookie gift from Takuma Tanaka Art.

It was quite big and I was happy to eat and respond to the volume.

Art has a wide range of ways to enjoy it, such as interior decoration, interaction, and investment.

The most important thing at Takuma Tanaka Gallery is [Exchange].

Through art, we strive to become such a gallery where you can feel people and enjoy the colors of life with yourself, Takuma Tanaka, and the gallery staff.

Therefore, it is rarely a place where you can enjoy art services consistently with artists, galleries, and secondary artists.

The trigger was the sale of street art, which was the starting point for Takuma Tanaka. At first, we started from a small place, but the fans who held a send-off party during the one-month tour to Paris.

At that time, he felt that art was not only about matter but also about connections with people.

Nowadays, people tend to focus on what they see, money, and interests, but that is not the only richness in life.

The winning bid for Takuma Tanaka's work "No War!" Sold at Yahoo Auction the other day is 202,000 yen.

We have sent the full amount to Ukraine and will report it here.

It is YouTube that we asked the customers who purchased the work what they thought.

This YouTube is about Takuma Tanaka overcoming the handicap and contributing to the society that he has taken care of in the future.

Please have a look.

"The atmosphere of the underground studio is very good and the location is good. This space

There are quite a few people who want to use it temporarily. "

Therefore, if you wish, we will start a service to rent Tanaka Takuma Studio on an hourly basis.

We will cooperate with the production of a special time like no other.

Please contact us for details such as time zone and price.

tanakatakuma.official@gmail.com

We also accept studio tours.

At Tanaka Takuma Studio, we only want many people to see and buy various services, and we don't want to sell them. However, for those who come for the first time, we received a voice saying that even if you want to enter, you will not have the courage to enter the studio, which also sells expensive works in the basement.

Therefore, we decided to charge 100 yen as an admission fee, and instead, we could relax for about an hour and serve tea and sweets. This is because it is better to pay for it, as in the case of a mini-museum, to prevent customers from bringing souvenirs or being overwhelmed and difficult to enter.

That's why we will create an environment that makes it easy for everyone to come with an admission fee of 100 yen for a while.

I was taking the old bar exam, which was originally unrelated to art. However, I overheard the bar examination and got sick due to stress. As a result, I stopped the bar examination. Also, I was mentally depressed and almost impossible to recover, so I started painting with rehabilitation.

At first, it wasn't an incomprehensible idea to make painting a main business. Inspired by the sale of the oil paintings I wrote on a piece of paper for 1,000 yen, which I happened to sell on the street, I started selling paintings. Mostly on the street. It's been over 15 years ago. After that, overcoming the global recession of subprime mortgages, it was used as a background picture for Oshare izumu and tried to expand overseas. The work was put into the Ulster National Museum in England, and a factory member of Andy Warhol became an agent.

Mother's Day is a special day.

Why don't you give a special gift to moms and moms who are always doing their best with their daily gratitude?

There are many gift candidates in the world.

However, it is difficult to think of a special gift that has been cut out now.

At this Tanaka Takuma Studio, we have prepared a special gift that will leave the era semi-permanently, as if insects were trapped in amber.

It is a special process of portraits of women, etc., and it is made into a work as if it were confined in amber.

This will be a wonderful memory to keep a semi-permanent record of this year's mom.

A new series with the theme of "peace of mind".

Since each person has different feelings for peace, we will make this completely custom-made.

We will produce each item individually, so up to 10 people will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

Please send us pictures of your important partner, relatives, pets that you love like children, etc.

We will make it with all our heart so that you can spend your days calmly.

We will make your precious things with all your heart as a work that will remain in your heart forever.

If you are interested, please contact Takuma Tanaka Studio.

In 2008, for the first time I went to New York to sell my work.

At that time, there was no iPhone and didn't know where to find galleries, but I decided to go to New York.

I decided to go anyway, because the demand for paintings in Japan had dropped considerably due to the Lehman Shock, and the street sales I was doing at the time and the exhibitions and sales at rental galleries were not doing well.

I had heard that New York was the home of painting, so I decided to check out every place I could find, and I brought a canvas with about a size 10 painting on it, as well as smaller works.

At that time, the situation of galleries in New York was not as clear as it is today through the Internet and other media.

I read in the guide book that the center of the art area was shifting from Chelsea to the Lower East Side, where the Jews first settled in New York, but I had no idea what that meant.

I didn't have much money then than I do now, so I decided to stay at a cheap inn called the Japanese Guest House.

It was 30 dollars a night. After that, I would often use this inn every time I went to New York.

When I landed at John F. Kennedy Airport, I took a shared bus with instructions from the inn.

I took the bus because it was an hour far from Manhattan and I didn't have the money to take a cab.

I don't remember the details of the bus anymore, but there were only colored people on it.

When we arrived at the inn, the driver told us to get off the bus and go here. But there was no sign of the inn.

I panicked, but I got off and looked carefully at the sign and saw the name of the inn in small letters.
