Profile
Tadasuke Jinno
Hometown: Japan
Based in: NY
Tadasuke Jinno is a New York-based visual artist from Japan whose practice includes painting, sculpture, and installation. My works are like an entrance or exit across the border between reality and unreality. The works cause viewers to experience visual illusion, bodily sensation or new perception with colors, shapes, materials and composition.
What is common to all works is "border." I believe that experiencing visual illusion, bodily sensation or new perception through my works will open your entrance or exit connecting the reality and unreality, by the feeling that you have never had before. I think that my work should be the boundary between reality and unreality. It is expressed not only in terms of effect, but also in color, shape, arrangement and so on.
“Art for me is a challenge of changing sense of values and how to see a point of view which you’ve had.”
”Tadsuke was an artist-in-residence in 2014 at NARS Foundation in Brooklyn, in 2017 at GlogauAIR in Berlin, Germany, and Zaratan AIR in Lisbon, Portugal, in 2019 at ChaNorth Artist International Artists-in-Residency in New York and in 2020 at Crosstown Art residency in Memphis TN in 2019. His work has been selected for the permanent collection of The Art Students League of NY.
