Takuma Tanaka's work has been internationally recognized, with permanent exhibition at The Wall Art Gallery in Miami and inclusion in the prestigious collection of the Ulster Museum in the United Kingdom.

"Takuma Tanaka explores the absurd beauty of modern life — where desire, consumption, and identity collide in vibrant chaos."

A quiet space. A surreal presence. An intimate dislocation.

Inside the painting lies a strangely familiar room — a crib, a curtain, a chair, and a sky that should never be indoors. Yet here they are, coexisting in uncanny harmony. The doll-like figure slumped in the corner is neither welcoming nor hostile. It simply watches.

Takuma Tanaka’s “In the Room” captures that fleeting sensation of stepping into a memory that may not be your own. A blend of innocence and discomfort, the painting plays with the boundaries between personal space and psychological terrain.

With layered brushwork, soft surrealism, and emotionally charged placement of everyday objects, this work echoes the traditions of European naïve art while maintaining a distinctly contemporary edge. A child's bedroom? A symbolic prison? Or a sanctuary of the subconscious?
