Tatsuro Kiuchi is an illustrator working in Tokyo. Since combining his style of oil painting with digital technology earlier, he has been awarded world-class illustration awards. He is constantly updating new works with sincerity even after making an award named after him. Even using a digital process, the color and texture from Tatsuro’s artworks convey analog sensitivity. Anyone in front of the work gets soaked in a nostalgic fragrance.

타츠로 키우치는 도쿄에서 활동하고 있는 일러스트레이터입니다. 일찍이 자신의 유화 스타일과 디지털 기술을 접목해 작업해온 그는 세계적인 일러스트레이션 상을 수상해왔습니다. 본인의 이름을 딴 상을 만들어 후배 양성에 힘쓰면서도 꾸준히 새로운 작품을 업데이트하고 있는 그의 상상력과 성실함에서 거장의 면모를 발견할 수 있습니다. 타츠로 키우치가 디지털 작업으로 자아내는 판화적 색감과 질감이 아날로그적 감성을 전달합니다. 현재와 과거가 공존하고 있는 그의 작품을 마주할 때면, 처음 보는 낯선 장면 앞에서도 왠지 모를 애틋한 향수에 젖어 듭니다.
