Heart sounds
2011.4.30-5.15
Following the previous "Strange Box", Kentaro Tanaka's new exhibition "Kokoro" is the first in two years.
In this exhibition, a world of gentle colors has been added to the previous works expressed in sumi-iro.
"You can go anywhere on paper. You can go anywhere."
Yes, I remember what he was talking about for a long time.
His paper world is attractive for its simple and delicate flat style and the mystery that exists in a different dimension.
Kentaro Tanaka who lives hard and continues to draw.
Feel the world of his straightforward creation.

Heart sounds
Listen to my heart I always have something to draw in my head. Everyday for someone is extraordinary for someone, not the same time or feeling.
By drawing everyday things for me, I show my face on paper in dots, lines and colors.
It spills over and disappears repeatedly, trying to become something.
In such a time, the picture turns into oneself instead of a picture.
These things, which I heard in my heart, are irreplaceable everyday life.
I want to be grateful and grateful that I ca n't live without drawing, and that I can draw now no matter what .
I don't know if the painting will help anyone.
However, I have been saved by drawing, and I have received power from many paintings.
I hope that the picture will get into my head and spend some time.
I pray that the victims of the earthquake will be able to return to their normal lives as soon as possible.
And now, I will send this heartbeat to my father who is fighting illness.
