Masafumi Sanai ‘Raisha (Thunder Photography)’
There's something about these photographs that reminds me of Taro's.
Past Exhibition
‘Children’s Time’
Taro looked at the world through innocent eyes.
Deeply sympathetic. Reverberating with life.
‘Anger Beautifully’
Taro’s anger was like an exploding volcano. It did not contain personal enmity, rather it was the pure anger of humanity. It was both remarkable and refreshing.
explore‘Various Types of Love’
It is said that genius is androgyne.
Taro Okamoto’s dynamic spirit and readiness to always meet a challenge was definitely that of a man, of an ‘armed warrior’, but in reality, he had a gentle heart, delicate, kind, and easily wounded.
‘Staring Contest’
The term ‘staring contest’ sounds quite lighthearted, but for Taro Okamoto, to stare into the eyes of another was a most serious and symbolic act, an interchange life. It can be described as a sort of ceremony.
explore‘Taro Okamoto, Photographer’
Taro Okamoto had a long history as a photographer. Man Ray, Brassai, Capa…leading photographers who are idolized by today’s professionals, were all friends of his while he was living in Paris and at some point in his career he began to use a camera himself.
explore‘Face 2’
A frightening face, an artless face, a sad face...all of them are Taro Okamoto.
Artists often paint self-portraits, but there are no self-portraits of Taro Okamoto.
‘Young Life’
A baby as it reaches out its plump hand to try and grasp something, balancing its heavy-looking head as it takes dangerously wobbly steps on unbelievably small feet.
Puppies, kittens, lion cubs, baby elephants and chicks…young animals are all amazing.
‘Face 1’
The center of the face―the eyes. If you draw the eyes, they will create a face.
I think that there are many people who, when they think of Taro Okamoto’s work, conjure up an image of large eyeballs.
Taro Okamoto’s ‘Wonderworld’
It is not human. It is not animal.
These creatures can only be described as belonging to a ‘wonderworld’.
These curious ‘life forms’, these strange beings, the like of which you have never seen before, draw closer to us.
