Takuma Tanaka
Capitalism and Forbidden Fruit

2024

About the Item

Takuma Tanaka is a Japanese contemporary artist born in 1977, who likes to use our consciousness in the world as a prevalent theme in his work. From early childhood, he has always enjoyed the study of several subjects which he later reflects in his art. In his own words: “I think art is related to many studies. For example, by using pigment and so on, it merges with chemistry, or while selling art we have to apply economy and marketing. And even so when we make art we must also learn psychology to attract people. From economy and sociology, 'Capitalism' series, 'Human sushi' series. It seems these themes are unrelated, but thanks to Takashi Tachibana, I learned that it is important to find connections within each study. Doing this allows me to continue learning and finding interest in many different topics which I later express through my art.” The piece is signed on the corner.

Entering the Living Room
Located in Greenwich, CT
A very striking and expressive work in terms of color! This has a contemporary and upbeat feel and attractiveness to the abstracted female form coming into a room. Would brighten and bring any room into the contemporary realm and bring a very fresh dash of vivid color. Ralph Della-Volpe was a noted Post - War artist who started out with the Abstract Expressionists and then like Milton Avery and Wolf Kahn and others - chose to revert back to bringing some representational form back into his work. Color was his driving passion and he often used high keyed...

In the middle of the road
By Dana Frankfort
Located in Houston, TX
Dana Frankfort In the middle of the road, 2017 oil on canvas over panel 48 x 48 x 1.75 inches For over two decades, Dana Frankfort has explored the vexing periphery between language and sight by painting words. Rather than laying claim to the paintings, controlling their semiotic pulse, her words serve as the formal armature; they prop up, ventilate, and allow the many layers of paint to breathe. Imperatives, allusions, evocations—the words dissolve into a palimpsest of obscured serifs and stems, into color and form. The title of the work is a phrase from a poem by Carlos Drummond de Andrade’s “In the Middle of Road.” Here it is, translated from the Portuguese by Elizabeth Bishop...
