Tadashi Umemoto

Tadashi UMEMOTO
梅本匡志

Umemoto creates paintings based on people, landscapes, and other elements drawn from his immediate surroundings and everyday life. While depicting things that exist in reality, he is concerned not simply with capturing them as they are, but with the sense of dissonance and the inexplicable feelings that emerge through the act of painting.
