BIJUTSU TARO
Japan
Born in 1975 in Akita Prefecture, Japan
Graduated from Tama Art University in Tokyo, Japan
He began his career by selling homemade postcards on the street.
He believes that art should not be evaluated based on the brand name or the reputation of the artist. He produces works under the name "BIJUTSU Taro | BT" but does not reveal his identity (he has never revealed his real name or any photos of himself in public).
He wants people to appreciate art for what it is, without being bound by the artist's name or appearance. Therefore, anyone can create art under the name "BIJUTSU Taro | BT", and art will continue to transcend the limitations of time and media.
『I believe art can nourish the soul
the power of art,
Let us get through this difficult time together 』
BT does not want art to become a luxury for the rich, but hopes that his art can provide spiritual food to those in need.
BT said: "I would rather spend 10,000 yen to paint 100 paintings than 1 million yen to paint one. I hope my art can nourish everyone's soul gently." BT said: "I am not a person with a very special painting style. Strong artist. I'm still trying to see beyond the blank space of the painting.
Although art cannot be separated from today's society, if art is not inclusive, it has no meaning of existence. This is not because we cannot see the truth, but because we simply are not trying to find it.
” Nowadays, there are many cases of highlighting and speculating on art from a close-up perspective. Returning to the roots of painting and quietly talking to art is an important and valuable experience in facing our subconscious. We live in an era where uncertainty brings us In an era of extreme anxiety, in the world of BT, powerful communication power is sent to the depths of people's hearts, which will fascinate them."
