Atsushi Tawa is a multidisciplinary artist whos practice covers drawing, mixed media
sculpture, video, and painting. Tawas primary concern is to drive doubt at the concept of individuality, in order to destabilize the notion of established societal norms. The work aims to readdress a view of society through the anti-political, opting for an acknowledged emptiness of both form and content.

The work remains at a distance from what Tawa views as the isolation of the Romantic ideal, preferring a neutrality but also a complexity of form and presentation.

Atsushi Tawa (b. 1978, Japan) graduated from Tokyo Zokei University in 2004, and his MFA from the Glasgow School of Art in 2008. In 2009, He participated Culturias residence program in Berlin, and was selected for a residency with the Shanghai Zendai MOMA, and had a solo show at the Zhujiajiao Museum in 2010.

He currently lives and works in Kyoto.
