TAKERU IWAZAKI

Artist based in Shizuoka, Japan. Takeru first picked up his pen inspired by street culture and experimental, abstract hip-hop. Heavily influenced by natural phenomena such as the flow of water and the appearance of trees, "flow" has become one of his core themes. Concentrating the energy emitted by things in nature into graceful lines, he creates an immersive experience for the viewer.

His drawings are characterized by dense yet expansive lines, mostly black, that resonate throughout as if as if in a live music session. In addition to solo exhibitions, he does murals, live painting performances and has collaborated with DJs and fashion brands, showcasing his work across a wide variety of media.
