Keiichi Tanaami 田名網敬一

 

Keiichi Tanaami was born in Tokyo in 1936 and now live and work in Tokyo.

Tannami has been active as a graphic designer, filmmaker, and artist since the 1960s, never heeding the boundaries of mediums or genres but instead aggressively traversing them through his work. The history and trajectory of his practice spanning well over half a century have garnered tremendous support from younger generation of artists around the world, as he is viewed as a new figure of the artist in the 21st century. Tanaami found success early on, creating images that are now deeply forged in the cultural landscape of both Japan and the United States. Employing a wide variety of media in his practice, Tanaami has been celebrated for his work in painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, printmaking, and animation. His work is characterized by an incorporation of American and Japanese cultural references and imagery, intensity of color, graphic impact, and windowed vignettes that he renders in his densely layered, collage-like compositions.

Rising to prominence in the 1960s, Tanaami’s work registered the influence of manga imagery, the Neo-Dada movement in Japan, and the experience of his childhood during the Second World War. References to the war are a recurring motif in Tanaami’s work, which often features images of air raids, flares, and blasts of white light from the detonation of explosives. His paintings are also deeply influenced by his childhood memories of kamishibai—public theater productions for Japanese children. Tanaami’s work is notable for the manner in which it juxtaposes commercial imagery from Western culture with traditionally Japanese graphic styles, including manga and woodblock printing. Exploring the tension between disparate forces, such as the East and the West, violence and innocence, and commercial imagery and high art, Tanaami has emerged as a form-giver for subsequent generations of working artists.

In 2019, Tanaami presented his collaboration with Adidas Originals “Adicolor x Tanaami.” His active creative activities were also introduced in the television program “Jonetsu Tairiku” aired in April 2019, and gained much attention. In addition, with his works being on permanent exhibit in the Museum of Modern Art New York (MoMA) that celebrated its renewal opening 2019 fall, he continues to receive one and only acclaim as an artist who represents postwar Japan.

Tanaami’s work is frequently included in major group presentations, including exhibitions at Pioneer Works, New York, NY; Jeffrey Deitch, New York; Jeffrey Deitch, Los Angele; the Ludwig Museum, Budapest; the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia; and the Tate Modern, London, among others. His work is held in the permanent collections of public institutions around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Kawasaki City Museum, Kanagawa; Yokohama Museum of Art, Yokohama; the Art Institute of Chicago; the National Portrait Gallery, Washington, D.C; National galerie im Hamburger Bahnhof - Museum fur Gegenwart, Berlin; the Tokushima Modern Art Museum, Tokushima; Ikeda Museum of 20th Century Art, Itō; and the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN, and many others.

田名網敬一於1936年出生於東京，現在在東京生活和工作。

田名網敬一畢業於武藏野美術大學。自二十世紀 60 年代以來，他一直是一名活躍的平面設計師、電影製作人和藝術家，從不關注媒介或流派的界限，而是在自己的作品中積極地跨越它們。他跨越半個多世紀的創作歷史和軌跡，被視為是二十一世紀藝術家的新代表人物，因此亦得到了世界各地年輕一代藝術家的大力支持。田名網於事業早期已經取得了成功，其創作的形像如今已深深融入在日本和美國的文化景觀中。 田名網在他的實踐中使用了多種媒介，包括但不限於畫作、素描、拼貼、雕塑、版畫和動畫方面等等。 他的特點是融合了美國和日本的文化參考和意象、視覺衝擊強烈的顏色和圖形、以及他在密集的層次和拼貼畫般的作品中呈現的畫面。

田名網的作品體現了漫畫圖像、日本新達達運動以及他在第二次世界大戰期間童年經歷的影響。 「戰爭」是他的作品中反復出現的主題，比如經常出現空襲、照明彈和炸藥爆炸產生的白光的圖像。 他的畫作也深受童年記憶中日本兒童公共戲劇作品《紙芝梅》的影響。 田名網的作品以其將西方文化的商業圖像與日本傳統圖形風格（包括漫畫和木刻印刷等）並置的方式而聞名。 通過探索東方與西方、暴力與純真、商業意象與高雅藝術等不同力量之間的緊張關係，田名網已成為後代藝術家的形式賦予者。

2019 年，田名網敬一推出了與 Adidas Originals 的聯乘系列「Adicolor x Tanaami」。 在2019年4月播出的日本電視節目《情熱大陸》中也介紹了他積極的創作活動，引起了廣泛關注。 此外，他的作品也在紐約現代藝術博物館（MoMA）慶祝 2019 年秋季翻新開幕的永久展覽中展出，作為代表戰後日本的藝術家繼續獲得獨一無二的讚譽。

田名網敬一的作品經常出現在大型群展中，包括紐約Pioneer Works； Jeffrey Deitch，紐約及洛杉磯；路德維希博物館，布達佩斯； 費城藝術博物館； 以及倫敦泰特現代美術館等。 同時，他的作品也獲得世界各地的公共機構永久收藏，其中包括紐約現代藝術博物館；神奈川縣川崎市博物館；橫濱美術館； 芝加哥藝術學院； 美國國家肖像畫廊，華盛頓；柏林漢堡車站國家美術館； 德島現代美術館； 池田二十世紀美術館，伊東；以及明尼蘇達州明尼阿波利斯的沃克藝術中心等。
