About the artist
Tanaka Chisato (born in 1980)
After graduating from the Oil Painting Course at the Tama Art University, Tokyo in 2005, Tanaka started her career as an artist in Fukuoka the following year. She has established her own style using acrylic paints to create smooth black backgrounds in which subjects in front are brilliantly painted with oil paints. Tanaka’s paintings give viewers a vivid impression and stimulate their imagination through combining contrasting elements, such as figures who look smiling and angry at the same time, or glittering landscapes in the pitch-black darkness. Nowadays, she has become one of the leading artists in Fukuoka through a wide range of creative activities, including many solo and group exhibitions, book-cover design, and a large-scale mural on the new building of SHOGAKUKAN Inc., a publishing company.
