田中紳次郎は、「狭間」という独自の視点を軸に活動するアーティストである。その視点は、異なる文化や表現領域、そして世界の捉え方を行き来してきた経験から育まれてきた。
ロサンゼルスに生まれ、東京で育った田中は、日本とアメリカ、広告とアート、ストリートダンスと現代美術という異なる世界を横断してきた。そうした経験を通して、動き、変化、つながりを制作の根幹に据えている。
絵画、壁画、インスタレーション、デジタルメディア、ライブビジュアルパフォーマンス、参加型プロジェクトなど、多様な表現を横断しながら、それぞれの媒体を同じ根源的な問いを探求するための異なる言語として用いている。リズム、動き、反復、即興性を軸に、手描きの線や有機的なフォルムを積み重ね、人、自然、記憶、場所の間に存在する目に見えない関係性を描き出している。
2011年の東日本大震災を機に広告業界を離れ、アートに専念するためニューヨークへ移住。現在は東京を拠点に、日本、アメリカ、ヨーロッパでの展示、パブリックアート、壁画、ライブビジュアルパフォーマンス、コラボレーションを通じて国際的に活動している。

空間やコミュニティとの対話、そして傾聴を通じて創り上げられる壁画。
それぞれの壁には周囲のリズムが反映され、日常と想像力が交差する瞬間が捉えられている。
その制作プロセス自体が作品の一部となり、人々の目に触れる場所に刻まれた「繋がりの記録」となる。

Live & Visual Worksは、ドローイング、音、光、そして空間をリアルタイムで交差させる表現である。
それぞれのプロジェクトは、ダンサーやミュージシャン、ビジュアルアーティストとの即興的な対話として展開し、アナログな身体性とデジタルの光が呼応しながら、空間そのものを共有されたエネルギーの場へと変えていく。




03
あらゆるものの間に存在する静かな繋がりを探求するアート作品。
繊細な細胞模様からシンプルな線まで、それぞれの作品は人生に流れるリズムとバランスを捉えている。
それらは、動きと静止、混沌と静寂の間の調和を絶えず追求する姿勢を反映している。
04
Projectsでは、アーティスト、ブランド、文化機関との多様なコラボレーションを展開している。空間インスタレーションや壁画、キャンペーン、ビジュアル設計に至るまで、アートの発想を実社会の環境へと変換している。
領域を横断することで、表現と日常のあいだに接点を生み出し、人・空間・文化をつなぐプロジェクトを実現している。

In the episode, Tanaka shares the story behind his latest series, Broken, Yet Still Golden, which is inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi. He reflects on how personal challenges, the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake, and his experiences living and creating in New York have shaped his work across painting, mural art, and dance.
The conversation explores how themes of healing, resilience, and transformation continue to influence his practice, and why he believes that our broken parts can become a source of strength and creativity.

Artists from around the world gather in Snösätra, transforming the area into an open-air environment through live painting, music, and cultural programs.
A new mural will be created on site.

This exhibition explores the themes of destruction and repair—not as a process of creating something new, but as a way of reconsidering the value, dignity, and beauty that persist within a world that has been irreversibly altered.
The cracks and fractures across the works evoke the fault lines of our contemporary world—war, polarization, pandemics, economic inequality—while also reflecting inner wounds and unspoken pain carried by individuals. These moments of rupture are not erased; they remain as history and lived experience.
The golden lines are not decorative attempts to conceal damage. They mark traces of value and spirit that continue to exist within what has been broken. Even after breaking, something within still glows. Recognizing and cherishing this presence is the first step toward extending compassion beyond oneself.
Through drawings, video, and sculptural works, the exhibition creates a space that engages the viewer’s senses and imagination from multiple perspectives. In an era shaped by AI and efficiency, where our ability to feel the world directly is diminishing, this exhibition quietly asks: after everything has broken, what do we still hold onto, and can we carry that value forward into the world?


Celebrating its 18th year, the event transforms the city into a glowing open-air gallery featuring projection mapping, light art installations, roving performers, and hands-on experiences for all ages.
Tanaka will present new audiovisual works continuing his exploration of Hazama — the in-between, bringing rhythm, movement, and light into the public space.
📍 Date: September 6, 2025 (Sat) | Location: Downtown Burien / Town Square Park

Multimedia artist Shinjiro Tanaka, born in Los Angeles and raised in Tokyo, has joined the Welling Walls public mural initiative in New York City.
Welling Walls is a global public art project that transforms walls into symbols of healing, empathy, and emotional resilience. Selected artists from around the world are invited to create murals that uplift communities and open space for connection and reflection.
Shinjiro contributed a new mural that reflects his signature style — intricate lines and dots inspired by microscopic textures, layered with the bold spirit of street culture. His work creates a quiet yet powerful presence, inviting viewers into a contemplative moment amidst the urban rush.
This marks Shinjiro’s third mural project in the United States, deepening his dialogue with cities and communities across borders.

In this special企画, Matono—known for her drawing ability—challenged herself to produce a giant artwork as part of the promotional rollout for the new single. Shinjiro provided creative guidance on composition, process management, and techniques unique to working at such a large scale.
The completed artwork was later exhibited at Shibuya Sakura Stage, where it drew significant attention from visitors.
To see how Matono stepped into her role as the new center through this ambitious artistic challenge, please check the broadcast and exhibition highlights.

The piece transforms the transitional space into a flowing passage of movement and light — a visual reminder of ascent and transformation.
Deep gratitude to Kai (@kai_777rawstreet) for the invitation and trust, and to Jinschan (@jinschan) for opening up the space.
Tanaka hopes the mural will serve as a small source of inspiration for everyone who passes through.

Come enjoy a creative evening at Sekimachi Cellar, a historic sake shop in Nerima, Tokyo!
This is our 10th "Drink & Draw" event, where you can relax with drinks and draw, even if you're not good at it. The goal is to have fun, get a fresh perspective, and connect with others through simple drawing games for individuals and groups. You can join at any time, and we’ll explain everything on the spot.
We'll also have snacks from Yamaneco Lodge (@yamaneco_lodge), starting from 500 yen. Enjoy them with your drinks!

On Friday October 4th, join us for a special edition of "This&That" as we celebrate the grand unveiling of the finished murals from the Pentel x Mural Rookies Project. Marking our first event held at BnA_WALL, the lineup for this special event features everything from acoustic vibes and indie electronica to live painting and interactive art installations. Of course this event also marks the debut of the new murals created at BnA_WALL and the nearby A.I.R BUILDING, which will also be celebrating the debut of their own Pentel x Mural Rookies “Sounds of the City” mural. Come together to inspire, be inspired, and celebrate the vibrancy of Tokyo's art scene.

The concept of "Re: Play" combines "Re:," meaning "reply" as a recognition of others, and "Play" to encourage the rediscovery of playfulness. In a world becoming increasingly digital, especially with the rise of AI and the web, and the distancing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, human connections have become weaker. "Re: Play" invites people to reassess the value of the analog body, rediscover the beauty of everyday life, and enjoy playful connections with others.
CHUMS was originally created by a river guide in Utah who invented the brand's first product, a glasses holder, to keep his sunglasses secure. Today, CHUMS continues to bring fun and playfulness into daily life through its outdoor accessories.


As I'm heading back to Japan the following Monday, I'd love to share a toast with you all. See you there! 🎉
