Here we introduce Tomomi Taoka, one of the artists of HOLBEIN ART FAIR 2022 2nd.

Tomomi Taoka
I get tired of wearing the same clothes. I do have my favorites, but I still find myself craving even a slightly different flavor. I always want change, a little spice. By changing, I want to keep betraying my own "signature." And yet, that signature can itself become a part of the whole. A small shift in balance can completely transform how something is seen. The coordination of assembling such complex materials, information, and parts one by one is something you can never play out to the end. That is why it is fun. With that same sense of styling, I handle my materials and paint a picture. I build it.

[Staff comment]
Taoka's works are full of playfulness in every single piece, so you never tire of looking at them!
She uses all sorts of materials, such as FRP and water-based resin, so you can enjoy a variety of textures that photos can't fully convey ✨
Please come and experience these textures in person! (Mogi)
