TOMOTATSU GIMA Japan, b. 1976
Artist Bio
Tomotatsu Gima grew up under the influence of Japanese and American
cartoons and pop art. Creating collages of logos and color prints on corrugated
cardboard boxes, which he calls POP COLLAGE, disposed cardboard boxes serve as
the material for his art, with any trash created in the process recycled.
Merchandise transported in the boxes he uses as a medium became a motif of his
art; by creating works using globally recognized products, he aims to inspire
others to think about the meaning of “distribution” and “consumption”.
