Norio Takamatsu
高松徳男A Candid, Unaffected gaze into the Margins of the World
Realistic, yet warm and unpolished—his paintings have been described as having the raw presence of a “freshly harvested potato.” With a blend of simplicity and intensity in his brushwork, Takamatsu confronts the weighty theme of love and war as two sides of the same coin.
Influenced by Japanese anime and manga heroes, his aim is not to depict victory, but to quietly question the true meaning of strength—one that reveals itself through peace. His work is driven by a sincere desire to understand differing perspectives and to find moments of empathy that transcend conflict.
