Taku Bannai is an illustrator based in Tokyo. He majored in graphic design and has been a concept designer for commercials for several years. He doesn’t want his works discarded after the advertisement, so he changed his career to a full-time illustrator. The simplicity from the bold omission of details from Taku’s artworks captures a scene of everyday life that has been pushed through by the chaotic flow. A delicate expression conveys comfort calmly.

타쿠 반나이는 도쿄에서 활동하고 있는 일러스트레이터입니다. 그래픽 디자인을 전공하였고, 이후 몇 년간 상업광고의 콘티 작가로 활동했습니다. 하지만 광고가 완성되면 폐기되고 마는 콘티 작업의 숙명이 안타까워 과감히 전업 일러스트레이터의 길로 들어섰지요. 타쿠 반나이는 디테일을 과감히 생략한 단순함을 통해 왁자지껄 어지러운 흐름에 떠밀려 지나치고 말았던 일상의 한 장면을 소중하게 담아냅니다. 투박한 듯 섬세한 그의 표현 방식은 보는 이에게 담담한 위로를 전달합니다.
