Tatsuya Tanaka is an art director and a miniature photographer from Japan.
He created a website http://miniature-calendar.com in 2011. Starting from April 20th 2011, Tasuya uploaded one piece of miniature work daily to his personal website, Facebook, & Instagram simultaneously and it has yet to stop, up until the current date, it has been almost eight and a half years.
To our delight, Tatsuya has finally brought his miniature work to China. Starting from July 21st (Sat) and ending on Oct 7th (Sun) every day from 10:00 to 18:00, at Bridge 8 Art Space (1908 Granary) in Shanghai.
The Miniature Exhibition is Tatsuya’s first exhibition in Mainland China. Since the exhibition will close shortly my friends, whoever would like to feast their eyes will have to hurry up!
Let’s go over some of Tatsuya’s miniature photos that we find very enlightening.
Autumn Colors (2018.09.24) is a miniature work using a tailor’s props. It creates an autumn image by using red and orange buttons to mimic a countless number of rich fruits on the trees, with some overly-mature fruits falling onto the ground and harvested in the cart.
Broccoli in Savanna (2016.02.20) is another representation of how creative things can become miniature in this nature scene. The Broccoli take the form of baobab trees, the ancient trees of Africa while Elephants, giraffes, rhinoceroses (even though rare to see in reality) walk across the plain. It even shows man’s plunder of nature by placing some fallen “baobab trees”, along with yelling people aligned in their trucks.
One Swing in the Universe (2017.06.16) is a very interesting miniature using food as raw materials to mimic the solar system. Circular surfaces ranging from egg, onion, carrot, sausage, and melon are all reimagined as miniatures in the solar system, a small glass bottle mimics a spacecraft and if we observe closely, we can find the shiny miniature stars made by salt grains. What a marvelous food miniature!
In the miniature below, it shows a miniature grass field using brush with green bristles. The worker is busy weeding, with the bristles (blades of grass) popping out from the plate, which makes the scene with even more lifelike.
Look here! Are they inside a doughnut!? (20140423) Using a donut in mimicking a mining cave. An Ingenious use of light makes the picture even more realistic.
