Tadashi Toyama’s (b.1985, Nagano) work naturally combines his idiosyncratic experiences with imagination, reality with fiction, and nature with culture to construct a unique visual world of his own. Intuitively blending colours, contours and compositions on canvas, he creates paintings that embody a strong sense of vibrancy. Toyama holds an MFA (Akademie Brief and Meisterschüler) from the Kunstakademie in Düsseldorf, and he has been exhibited at Y Art Gallery (Port of Spain, 2022), Kunstverein Bad Godesberg (Bonn, 2022), Kunst im Hafen (Düsseldorf, 2021), K21 Kunstsammlung NRW (Düsseldorf, 2020), and Open White Gallery (Berlin, 2020) among others. Toyama lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany.
