Hello, my name is Takuma Tanaka. I am currently entering an auction in Europe. Since the yen is weak in Japan today, I was looking for a way to export my products overseas. As a result, I decided to try again, as I had tried before to be able to casually put my items up for auction overseas. We will let you know as soon as we receive further information.
The flower series has been well received.
This is a large work of No. 80 with an image of a tropical country!
It will help you to get over the cold winter warmly.
This is a work that I am currently exhibiting online as well .
Passion
It looks like a shining flower made of poured acrylic .
No matter how old we get, our hearts remain the same as when we were young. Tanaka's meaning is "to seek for the passion of youth without forgetting it. This is the meaning of Mr. Tanaka .
Takuma Tanaka's paintings are currently on display at Park Hotel Tokyo.
BONNO exhibition -earthly desires exhibition

こんにちは、田中拓馬スタジオスタッフの福冨です！
本格的な寒さが続いておりますがいかがお過ごしでしょうか？
今回はコラボ作品の鞄が仕上がりましたのでお知らせしたいと思います(^^)
鞄のコラボです…！！✨
田中克幸さんとは年末にOIOIメンズ館で開催した「世紀末的錬金術展」で知り合いました。普段は北海道で手縫いバッグを販売していて、同時期に隣で限定ショップを開いておりました。
非常に質の良いレザー鞄ばかりでした(^^)
克幸さんのお店はブログの最後にリンクも載せております♪
田中拓馬らしいデザインの抽象画を施し、世界に一つだけの鞄となっております✨
こちらは販売もしております。
こういった鞄のコラボは田中拓馬スタジオでは初で、非常に楽しいコラボとなりました!
今後もこういったコラボ活動もしてけるように、田中拓馬スタジオ全員で頑張っていきたいと思います!(^^)

Hello, this is Fukutomi, a staff member of Takuma Tanaka Studio!
How are you doing in the real cold weather?
This time, we would like to inform you that we have just finished our collaborative work on bags (^^)
It's a collaboration of bags...! ✨
I met Katsuyuki Tanaka at the "End of the Century Alchemy Exhibition" held at the OIOI Men's Pavilion at the end of the year. He usually sells hand-sewn bags in Hokkaido and had a limited store next door at the same time.
They were all leather bags of very good quality (^^).
We also have a link to Katsuyuki's store at the end of this blog♪
The bag is one-of-a-kind, with an abstract painting of Takuma Tanaka's unique design ✨.
These bags are also available for sale.
This was the first time for Takuma Tanaka Studio to collaborate on such a bag, and it turned out to be a very fun collaboration!
We hope to continue this kind of collaborative activity in the future with all of us at Takuma Tanaka Studio! (^^)

ポッドキャストのあさ会話という番組の中で紹介していただきました。よかったら聞いてみてください。
こんにちは。
スタッフの福冨です。
お世話になっております。
早いもので2月になりました。
田中拓馬は毎日、絵を描いて頑張っていますが今日、田中から初めて聞いたことがあります。
それは田中が浦和高校時代に授業で美術を専攻していたらしいのです。
それで周りから植物の絵を描くように勧められて花の絵も描いていたというのです。
一般的に田中拓馬の絵は半抽象画が多くてそんな画風に人気が集まります。
しかし花の絵は一見すると田中拓馬の作品と分からないくらいで本人も自身を持って得意としているのです。
そんな田中拓馬ですが過去にお付き合いしていた女性がいて、その女性が花屋さんで働いていて花を愛していたということなのです。
だから花は田中拓馬にとっても大事な存在で特別なものなのでしょう。
そんな田中拓馬が描いた花の絵を大切な人に贈りませんか？
散りも枯れもしないブリザードフラワーのように花の絵は残ります。
バレンタインデーやホワイトデーにプレゼントとして贈るのもいいでしょう。
また誕生日のプレゼントにするのもいいのではないでしょうか！
あなたの大切な人に！
Hello.
I am Hukudomi, a staff member.
Thank you for your kind attention.
February has come early.
Takuma Tanaka has been working hard drawing pictures every day, but today I heard something for the first time from Tanaka.
It seems that Tanaka majored in art in his class at Urawa High School.
He was encouraged by his peers to draw pictures of plants, so he also drew pictures of flowers.
Generally, most of Takuma Tanaka's paintings are semi-abstract and his style is popular.
However, his flower paintings are so distinctive that they are not recognizable as Tanaka Takuma's works at first glance, and he himself is proud of them.
He has been in a relationship with a woman in the past, who worked at a flower shop and loved flowers.
Therefore, flowers must be very important and special to Tanaka Takuma.
Why don't you send such a flower painting by Takuma Tanaka to your loved one?
Like a blizzard flower that never disperses or withers, a picture of a flower will remain.
It would be a good idea to give them as a gift on Valentine's Day or White Day.
It would also be a good idea to give it as a birthday present!
For your loved ones!
Number of works by painters
Good evening.
This is the Takuma Tanaka Studio.
This time I would like to touch on the number of works painted by painters.
First of all, a famous painter with a large number of works is Picasso, who painted more than 10,000 works of art alone.
On the other hand, a painter with a small number of works is Vermeer, who painted more than 30 works (although there is a theory that he painted more).
In this connection, we focus on Takuma Tanaka.
Takuma Tanaka has painted and sold about 2,500 works so far, including those from his street days.
Furthermore, Takuma Tanaka discards his paintings when he is not satisfied with them.
If the number of such works is included, the number of works would be around 3,000.
This is a large number for an artist of his age (46).
Of these, the number of works that are still in the public domain (I don't know what happened to the works from his street days) is probably around 1,500.
Tanaka usually gets up at around 5am to devote his time to creative work.
Tanaka's brushes run quickly, so his works are also completed quickly.
In this way, how many works will Takuma Tanaka paint in his lifetime?
I hope he continues to paint 4,000 or 5,000 more works.
画家の作品点数
こんばんは。
田中拓馬スタジオです。
今回は画家の描く作品数などに触れてみたいと思います。
まず有名な画家で作品数の多い画家では、ピカソで絵画だけで1万点以上の作品を描いています。
また、反対に作品数の少ない画家ではフェルメールの30数点（一説によるともっと描いていたという説がありますが）が挙げられます。
このことに関して田中拓馬に焦点をあててみました。
田中拓馬は今まで描いて売ってきた作品は路上時代を入れると2500点位になります。
さらに、田中拓馬は絵を描いて自分で納得がいかないとその作品を廃棄してしまいます。
その作品の数を入れると作品数は3000点くらいになると思います。
これは画家の年齢（46才）にしたら作品数は多い方だと思います。
この内、今でも公にお客様が持っておられる（路上時代の作品はどうなっているかわからない）作品は1500点くらいでしょうか。
普段、田中は朝5時頃から起きて創作活動に時間をさいています。
田中は筆の走りも早いので作品が出来上がるのも早いです。
このように考えると、田中拓馬は生涯どのくらいの数の作品を描くのでしょうか。
さらに4000点、5000点と描き続けてほしいです。

I went to the Salmagundi Club, the oldest art club in NY, for a week from September 3 to 10, and had an exhibition there. Individual honorary members include Britain's Churchill and oil tycoon Rockefeller. Other prominent artists include John Singer Sargent, who painted the face of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The reception for this exhibition was held on the 6th. It was quite a large turnout, perhaps 150 to 200 people. Three of the works sold at the reception, and it was later decided that they would go to a senior staff member of MOMA and a wealthy man with assets of over 300 billion yen. Unfortunately, the larger works, the 100+ size paintings that were in the catalog, did not sell.
Also, on the 6th, a short interview with Basquiat at Washington Square Garden, which was broadcast on FOX5, the fourth largest television network in the United States, was held.
As you can see, this business trip to New York was quite hectic, but it gave me some confidence because many people liked my work and purchased it. Among them, customers liked the use of shocking pink, the beautiful combination of colors such as silver and gold, and the cat rabbit and HUMASUSHI were popular and won their hearts. The skull type was also popular, and the one piece that sold out early was inundated with orders.
In summary, I felt that the recent trend itself was not wrong.
If you are interested in my painting, please ask my representative gallery in USA. https://www.thewall-artgallery.com/artists/takuma-tanaka/
