At university, I developed an interest in printmaking and chose it as my major. Among its various forms, I was especially captivated by Mokuhanga—its materials and techniques, the fascination of its process, and the depth of its history.I approach mokuhanga not only as a means of artistic expression but also with a strong interest in its traditions: the cultural and historical significance of its tools and materials, as well as the innovations that continue to expand its possibilities. Each day, I balance learning and practice as I create new works.At MI-LAB, I teach practical mokuhanga skills and knowledge tailored to each artist’s needs and level. I look forward to meeting outstanding artists from around the world and to encountering new works in Echizen, one of Japan’s foremost regions for washi paper.Websitehttp://www.chihirotaki.com/Instagramct_1015 経歴2011 武蔵野美術大学造形学部油絵科版画専攻 卒業2013 武蔵野美術大学大学院修士課程美術専攻版画コース 修了現在 東京を拠点に木版画家として活動 国内外で木版画の指導、WSを行っている主な作品収蔵先HOKUBU記念絵画館 町田国際版画美術館 川上澄夫美術館 武蔵野美術大学美術館 アルバータ大学美術館 シラパコーン大学美術館 テネシー大学美術館 アントワープ王立美術アカデミー美術館メッセージ画家の両親の影響で幼少期から美術の世界に親しみ、油絵、水彩画を中心に制作してきました。大学では版表現に興味を持ち版画を専攻。その中で特に木版画の素材と技法の魅力、プロセスの面白さ、歴史の奥深さに魅了されました。自分の作品制作のための技術としてだけではなく、木版画の伝統的な技法や道具材料の歴史や文化、新しい技法道具材料まで高い関心を持ち、日々学びながら制作をしています。MI –LABでは、アーティスト一人一人のレベルや要望に応じて実践的な木版画の技術と知識を教えています。日本有数の和紙の産地である越前で、世界中の素晴らしいアーティストたちと新たな木版画作品に出会えることを楽しみにしています。Websitehttp://www.chihirotaki.com/Instagramct_1015
