About the Artwork With beguilingly beautiful color combinations, the Japanese Taichi Nakamura tells stories about people and their environment. They all hold at least one secret. Nakamura virtuously arranges his main characters between pop culture and outsiderism, relationships and boundaries, nature and destruction - and in doing so refers to the major themes of his generation. His poetic titles make your thoughts fly: works like “No young man believes he shall ever die” or “Cowardice and rashness” seem promising and only give you an idea of the enormous simmering beneath the watercolor surface. An arc of tension in which the oil-acrylic painting “Purple Sky” also moves: It remains unclear whether a catastrophe is approaching - or just the dusk over the suburban junkyard. About the Artist An insider tip in this country, Taichi Nakamura, who was born in Kanagawa, Japan in 1982, has long had an established fan base in his homeland. Even as a child, Nakamura caused a stir when he made his first drawings in his parents' kimono shop - and promptly thrilled customers. So it was only logical that the young artist received his painting degree from the College of Art and Design, Tokyo Zokei Art University, in 2008. Since then, Taichi Nakamura has had an impressive exhibition career in galleries and museums in Japan, including exhibitions at Tokyo Opera Art City Gallery (Tokyo) and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum. Now he is on the verge of conquering the rest of the world: his work was recently shown in Miami, Rome, Taipei and Berlin.
