Lively and Lonely - Computergraphic painting 29'' x 20''

Japanese artist, Tetsuo Takashima's, intense study of the possibilities of the visual line through computer graphic technology has yielded unique images which are also as much about the space between the lines. It is through this skilled manipulation of space and the aesthetic gesture of the line that the true pathos, humor and sensitivity of his work comes through. Tetsuo pays close attention to shading as well, and at times the images can be busy with a world of colors and shapes, but whether he is conjuring ocean waves or wildlife with softly meandering lines, or the stress of contemporary life with a jumble of colors and jittery shapes, he remains committed to presenting the subject matter in its deepest expression.

Though his images vary in degree between abstract and representational styles, the unique spin on his subject matter always comes through fully in his pieces.

The viewer's gaze takes in the completeness of his graphics, as he masterfully draws our attention across the image; there is never a dull space in Tetsuo's work, and we are always deeply engaged. His skilled use of the artistic space is matched by his color choices and distinctive point of view. Tetsuo Takashima's work is constantly surprising, continually engaging.
