藝術家Shohei Takasaki生於埼玉縣，曾在日本與波特蘭居住，現定居於澳洲雪梨。他善於運用油性蠟筆、炭筆、顏料、現成物品和織物等多元媒材，並以多變的風格關注自我/他者、國內/外國、身體內外、本土/外國語言、實體/線上、現實/虛擬、過去/未來以及生/死之間的的灰色地帶，激勵觀者重新檢視認知、假設以及與他人的對話。Shohei Takasaki的繪畫作品充滿強烈的色彩與筆觸，通過生理反射，對記憶進行回溯、拾取，再將這樣的記憶碎再現到畫布上。在藝術家早期的作品中，多是以直覺性、個人性的實踐，充滿昂揚的生命力與豐富的表現性。他從記憶的深處提取的主題（人物、植物、圖案、字母等）沒有具體或特定的形式，看似受到立體主義或抽象表現主義的影響，實則拒絕了對任何特定時期的風格進行懷舊或複製。Shohei Takasaki的作品曾在洛杉磯、波特蘭、科威特、墨爾本、香港、台北和東京等地展出，並且也被收藏於西雅圖的星巴克總部和波特蘭的The Hoxton Hotel的公共收藏中。
Born in Saitama, Japan, Shohei Takasaki lived in both Japan and Portland before settling in Sydney, Australia where he now lives and works. Utilizing a diverse range of artistic mediums, from oil pastels and charcoal to paint, found objects, and fabric, Takasaki frequently explores a singular subject or motif through various styles. This approach serves to emphasize the intriguing 'in-between' spaces that emerge from these artistic juxtapositions, such as self/other, domestic/foreign, internal/external, native/foreign languages, physical/virtual realms, past/future, and life/death. Takasaki's paintings are characterized by their bold strokes and vibrant colors, resembling fragments of memories that overlap and intersect. In his early works, he painted with a sense of intuition and introspection, preceding any attempts to verbalize the imagery and its underlying meanings. Through his artwork, Takasaki delves into themes that challenge established boundaries and invites viewers to reevaluate their assumptions, fostering a more nuanced and 'in-between' understanding of the world. Takasaki's artistic contributions have graced exhibitions in prominent locations, including Los Angeles, Portland, Kuwait, Melbourne, Hong Kong, Taipei, and Tokyo. Notably, his work has found a place in the public collections of esteemed institutions, such as the Starbucks headquarters in Seattle and The Hoxton Hotel in Portland.
