 [Statement]

 

 

Viewing and painting things faithfully.This deed is primitive ,and it has inherited in the history of paintings.However, this deed was slighted with the development of digital technology after the modern era.On the ways painting things changed photographs and videos in place of paintings,and the painting of realism that is needed a long time and techniques was regarded as irrational.

​Today,every people are hurried by time because "the intention to the instant of " have not percolated through to only art but also general society.Every people lost ideas that slowly time,and now we can't do waiting.I view front of motive,and replace my perceptions with coloring materials,and accumulate them on a canvas.I wait for surfacing that existence of the motive with time.I think the deed making paintings is waiting.And I think one significance of today's paintings is surfacing visible/ascertainable things.

His new school was liberal spirit.The school didn't teach oil paintings but Tanihata had painted oil painting after school.

Then Tanihata had been to Kyoto Seika University.At that time,he was attracted by realism paintings,and his works had changed classical paintings.But he had looked for contact with the present because he felt wrong painting classical motive by classical technique.

Then he met a novel that was ‶Matsu" by Osamu Dazai.Tanihata that was impressed by the short novel was interested in human demeanor that was ‶waiting”,and thought he have to paint ‶waiting" in the present.

Because he has set up an essential idea that is ‶waiting",and he has painted.
