With overlapping influences from American science fiction films and Japanese animation, Daisuke Tajima presents his first collection of works in "Beyond the Lines." Using only pen and ink, his work depicts urban landscapes in which buildings dominate, presenting a high-density monochrome world radiating power. The artist also draws inspiration from his travels to Taiwan, Hong Kong, and China, creating a unique worldview of urban spaces, redefining the potential for two-dimensional expression. Born in Nara Prefecture in 1993, Tajima graduated from the Aichi Prefectural University of the Arts in 2015. He won several art awards and held solo exhibitions around Asia in recent years.
