Jiro Takamatsu, Shadow, 1989/1997, acrylic on canvas, 290.8 cm × 218.1 cm © The Estate of Jiro Takamatsu, courtesy of Yumiko Chiba Associates, Tokyo and Stephen Friedman Gallery, London Jiro Takamatsu Portrait of Jiro Takamatsu Details:b. 1936, Tokyod. 1998, Tokyo Read More Engaging with histories of Dadaism and Surrealism through a minimalist visual language, Jiro Takamatsu’s art centers on metaphysical ideas and concepts related to time, space, and emptiness. Over the span of his four-decade career, the artist engaged with a range of mediums, including sculpture, photography, painting, drawing, and performance art through which he explored concepts related to perception, space, and objecthood. Takamatsu nurtured an interest in mathematics and physics, especially quantum mechanics, as evidenced in his early “point” and “string” works, which meditate on the relationships between elementary particles, probing the ways in which they are at once material and immaterial, tangible and imaginary, present and absent. Takamatsu studied at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, where he cultivated an interdisciplinary artistic practice after graduating in 1958. In the following years, he helped establish the collective Hi Red Center (1963–1964) alongside fellow artists Genpei Akasegawa and Natsuyuki Nakanishi. Presenting humorous and politically minded actions in public spaces throughout postwar Tokyo, Hi Red Center sought to dissolve boundaries between art and life—producing what the collective called a “descent into the everyday”—through experimental and unorthodox approaches to art-making. In 1966, the group reproduced a thousand-yen note as part of the work Model 1000-Yen Note (1963), for which they were famously tried and found guilty of counterfeiting, marking one of the most significant episodes in the history of 20th century Conceptualism. Takamatsu was also an influential figure for Mono-Ha (School of Things) artists, many of whom studied under him; a movement centered on materiality and material conditions through non-representational art. Takamatsu’s works and series were often directly informed and related to one another. The expansive and generative nature of his process is perhaps most apparent between 1977 and 1982, an especially prolific period during which he developed the interrelated bodies of work that he called Space in Two Dimensions, Space, and Poles and Space. His most well-known and enduring series, which he began in 1964 and continued to create for the rest of his life, is his Shadow Paintings, which probe the formal properties of painting and conditions of representation. Inspired by the portrayal of shadows in 19th century Japanese paintings and woodcuts as well as his everyday encounters, Takamatsu investigated how painting could serve as a tool for critical inquiry, questioning the role of perceptual and visual phenomena in constructing notions of reality. Takamatsu drew attention to absence through the depiction of silhouetted, illusionistic shadows of figures and household items, sometimes cast from multiple implied light sources. Though he presented his first solo exhibition at Gallery Hiroshi in 1959, Takamatsu considered his 1962 Yomiuri Independent exhibition—a non-juried series of exhibitions that has aimed to democratize the art scene since 1949—the true start of his career as an artist. In 1966, he had his first solo exhibition with Tokyo Gallery, where he would continue to show work in the 1970s and 80s. He went on to represent Japan at the 34th Venice Biennale in 1968 alongside Tomio Miki, Kumi Sugai, and Katsuhiro Yamaguchi. Teaching at Tokyo’s Tama Art University from 1968 to 1972, Takamatsu introduced pioneering ways of seeing and thinking about art to the next generation of artists in Japan. An influential figure of the Japanese avant-garde, presented with numerous solo exhibitions during his lifetime, Takamatsu has exhibited widely in Japan and internationally, including at the 5th and 6th Paris Biennials (1967, 1969); the 34th Venice Biennale (Japan Pavilion, 1968), where he won the Carlo Cardazzo Prize; EXPO ’70, Osaka, Japan (1970); the 12th São Paolo Biennale (1973); and Documenta 6, Kassel, Germany (1977), among others. Internationally renowned, Takamatsu’s practice is lauded by scholars and curators across institutions globally. In 2014, the National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo opened Jiro Takamatsu: Mysteries, which traced three distinct phases of his career; and, in 2015, the National Museum of Art in Osaka mounted the major retrospective Jiro Takamatsu: Trajectory of Work. Takamatsu has also been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Henry Moore Institute, Leeds, United Kingdom (2017) and the Royal Society of Sculptors, London (2019). Takamatsu was prominently featured in the survey of post-War Japanese artists, Tokyo 1955–1970: A New Avant–Garde, held at The Museum of Modern Art, New York (2012–2013). The artist’s work is held in important public collections worldwide, including Aomori Museum of Art, Japan; Dallas Museum of Art, Texas; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Tate, London; The Museum of Modern Art, New York; The National Museum of Art, Osaka; and The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo, among others.
