塚本智也，1982 年出生於日本石川縣，現居神奈川，是活躍於當代藝術界的創作者。他擅長以空氣噴筆重複噴繪極細微的點點，創造出如印象派點描般的視覺效果，並融合滴流技法與輕盈筆觸，打造出獨具風格的繪畫語彙。

 

他作畫特徵為以紅、藍、黃三原色層層噴疊，在視網膜上產生混色錯覺，進一步模糊圖像與背景的邊界。作品常以櫻花、鯉魚、人物、鹿等意象為主題，探討光與影、生與死的循環。近年運用實體植物作為噴畫模板，結合圖地反轉的視覺轉換手法，將喬治·秀拉（Georges Seurat）的視覺混合理論與日本琳派的裝飾性，以當代視角重新詮釋。作品既具備日本繁複的「裝飾」感性，卻又透過極簡的創作形式而成，邀請觀者進入深度的沉浸式觀看體驗。

 

本展「Journey of Encounters — 相遇之旅」是塚本智也睽違 13 年後再次舉辦的個展，從台北出發，將巡迴東京、大阪等地，也是他今年規模最大的展出。

Born in 1982 in Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, and currently based in Kanagawa, Tomoya Tsukamoto is an active contemporary artist known for his distinctive painting language. He specializes in using an airbrush to layer extremely fine dots, creating visual effects reminiscent of Impressionist pointillism. Combined with dripping techniques and delicate brushwork, his approach produces a unique aesthetic vocabulary.

​

Tsukamoto’s signature method involves layering the three primary colors—red, blue, and yellow—creating optical color blending on the retina and further blurring the boundaries between figure and ground. His works often feature motifs such as cherry blossoms, koi fish, human figures, and deer, exploring cycles of light and shadow, life and death. In recent years, he has used real plants as stencils and employed figure-ground inversion techniques to reinterpret Georges Seurat’s visual mixing theory alongside the decorative sensibilities of the Japanese Rinpa school from a contemporary perspective. The result is a harmonious balance of intricate Japanese decorative aesthetics with minimalist compositional forms, inviting viewers into a deeply immersive experience.

​

“Journey of Encounters” marks Tsukamoto’s first solo exhibition in 13 years. Starting in Taipei, the exhibition will tour Tokyo, Osaka, and other locations, representing his largest-scale presentation of the year.
