TEZUKAYAMA GALLERY

Daisuke Takakura was born in Tokyo in 1980. While studying at Rikkyo University, he entered the world of theatre as an actor. Later on, he self-taught photography and design, in which these three art forms became the foundation of his photography.

His works of unique perspective have been introduced in numerous media, praising him not only in Japan but all over the world.

Takakura’s experience as an actor plays an essential element in his creative process.
In the “monodramatic” series, which is one of his masterpieces created in 2014, Takakura chooses the expressers and actors on the photographic subject to direct them with movements and expressions.

Also, “loose polyhedron” which was a series created in 2016 derived from “monodramatic”, focused on the multi-faced feelings of a young person with the theme of all emotions.

Gallery

TEZUKAYAMA GALLERY

TEZUKAYAMA GALLERY was opened in 1992 by Ryoichi Matsuo. It was originally located in Tezukayama, a residential suburb of Osaka. In March 2010 the gallery moved to Minami-Horie. In this new space, the gallery was renewed as a contemporary art gallery and named ‘Tezukayama Gallery’, after its original birth-place. Since it’s opening as a contemporary art gallery, the gallery has been giving emerging Japanese artists the opportunity to exhibit their work, both in the gallery and abroad. Exciting, contemporary art from current Japanese artists is the primary focus of the gallery.

In April 2016 we opened the Viewing Room. As well as the works of artists other than those exhibited, we also display works from the gallery collection in this space.
