Innovation in Animation Art
Whether it’s in posters or collage works, Tanaami’s art always feels in motion. It’s not about dynamic poses, but rather the repetitive motifs in a Pop Art style that evoke a sense of continuous movement. Personally, my favorite piece in this exhibition is the oil painting Gentle Friday. The repetition and variation of motifs, along with the swirling, distorted patterns in the background, encapsulate the artist’s profound fascination with ever-moving imagery.
The third chapter, focusing on animation works, features not only short animations on 16mm film but also showcases Tanaami’s original cels and storyboards.
Although there were also video displays in Chapter 6 and Chapter 10, I regrettably only had time to view nearly one piece from each. I’ve heard that Chapter 6 includes animations themed around De Chirico’s works, so I plan to focus on the video displays during a future visit to the exhibition.
