A work born from overlapping memories of travels
In addition to motifs such as flowers, bottles, and fashion items, Taisuke also paints many landscapes from his travels.
> "Let's go to the beach" original artwork
Taisuke loves traveling with his family. He remembers fun memories from those trips as scenes from a movie, and he draws them in his works.
Kinugasa's paintings are a mix of various enjoyable scenes, creating unique imaginary landscapes. In his works, morning and evening scenes blend together across time, creating a unique world.
This work, "Let's Go to the Beach," also has the moon and stars in the upper right corner, but the rest of the work depicts landscapes and skies in bright colors, giving the impression of an overlapping of exciting memories from various times.
>Original artwork for "Mt. Fuji and Airplane"
This work, which shows many people riding together happily on an airplane flying in front of Mount Fuji, was painted after the artist returned from a trip to Türkiye.
Turkey is a melting pot of different races, and he was inspired by the scenes of people of different races living there, which led him to paint various people on the plane.
His mother says it is unusual for Taisuke to depict so many people in one piece.
This work transcends national and international boundaries and depicts Taisuke's vivid experiences and emotions.
There are still many secrets I want to tell you, but I'll save that for next time.
