Tetsuya Nakamura

Was born in Chiba (Japan) in 1968.
He lives in Tokyo, where he produces his futuristic machines and hypothetical space ships, dressed
in psychedelic paint and characterised by a plasticity straight out of science fiction.
He plunges deeply into the fantastic world of cartoons and the stylised graphics designed to adorn cars
and motorbikes, reinventing and reshaping domestic objects thanksto his well-structured imagination, teeming with ideas.
A bath tub can become a kind of sinuous, aggressive convertible, with a surface emblazoned with
the kind of airbrushed designs beloved of bikers.

The artist's talent lies in customising everyday objects, even those whose aesthetic charms
are not immediately obvious, with a sheen that recreates and regenerates them according
to a formal diktat that feeds on geometric yet harmonious abstract designs, luminous, iridescent patterns of colour: fluid inventions that owe much
to science fictionand a fertile visionary imagination.

A playful, light-hearted and slightly irreverent streak
is the cornerstone of Nakamura's style.
