Page 1

Pop Out Again Tetsuya Tamanoi From April 30, 2021, Speedy Gallery Concept Tetsuya Tamanoi was born in the year 1970. While a contemporary artist, he also has a workshop where he makes studio set designs and installations. His generation, often called the “MTV generation” in Japan, was heavily influenced by both Japan’s pop culture and the western, especially the American culture. Japan has outstanding entertainment content. Many anime and comic content have been adapted into Hollywood movies. Many TV animations were exported to Europe since the 80s. Netflix now leases a studio space of the major Japanese motion pictures production company, “Toho”, which made Godzilla among many other liveaction movies. There’s also the Ninkyo (mafia in Japan) Series by Toei which Tarantino adored. Countless action figure toys inspired by these movies and shows have been sold, attracting many to become action figure toys fans all over the world. Tamanoi created his artworks using polyester resin which makes the action figure toys. Additionally, he applied color gradation used in Ukiyo-e painting to create a new form of expression. Along with the 4 new addition to his collection of works since his previous exhibition, enjoy Tamanoi’s art which adds a Western taste to spice up these Japanese brands.
