前 言

认识田中拓马只有短短的几个月，他是一位浪漫、充满幻想的画家，与他的相识可以说是偶遇。他对艺术的热爱和激情使我想帮助他在上海杰艺术画廊举办他的个展，希望能在他绘画艺术道路上留下美好的一笔。

田中拓马的作品对描绘当代社会现实情有独钟。不过，他笔下的社会现实不是讥讽的，抑或沉重的，而是浪漫的、天马行空的。他笃信浪漫与现实的共荣共生，而非相互排斥。他的表现方法就是利用简洁的笔触和浪漫随意的戏剧性来创作他各种系列作品。田中拓马对美术不断追求，绘画功力与日俱增。期待他创作更多精彩作品，为我们带来更多惊喜！

I ran into Mr. Takuma Tanaka several months ago and his romance and passion greatly impressed me. Naturally, as a gallery owner, I find it a pleasure to hold a solo for him in our space – Shanghai J Art Gallery, and hopefully it will become a nice stop in his lifetime pursuit of art.

Mr. Tanaka is keen on depicting contemporary society, yet you find neither irony nor criticism in his works. There are full of romantic and random-thinking. He persists in intergrowth of reality and romance instead of repulsion. By simple and light touches, random yet dramatic composition, the artist creates various series of works. Owing to his diligence, Mr. Tanaka progress considerably in his art world. Let’s expect more surprises from him in the near future!
