Takashi Yasuoka

Takashi Yasuoka is an award-winning painter based in Yokohama, Japan. Born in 1953, he received a PhD in Mathematical Sciences and was a professor at Shibaura Institute of Technology in Tokyo from 2009 to 2019.

Since 2004, he has held numerous solo exhibitions at Gallery Hibiya, Gallery T-BOX, and other galleries in Japan. His paintings have also been exhibited internationally, including exhibitions in Milan, Italy in 2021 and Madrid, Spain in 2022.

His next solo exhibition will be held at Gallery Hibiya in Tokyo in April 2027.

His paintings are not depictions of landscapes he directly observed, but rather modern interpretations of landscapes from memory. He employs free compositions that are not bound by conventional perspective, combining simplified forms with quiet, poetic colors.
His work explores the subtle distances between places we see, remember, and imagine.

He holds a B.S. in Mathematics from Osaka University, Japan, and M.S. in Mathematics from Kobe University, and a Ph.D. in Mathematical Science from Kyushu University.
