Takashi Ishida, born in Tokyo in 1972, is a distinguished painter and film artist. He holds a position as Professor at Tama Art University.
Ishida is renowned for his unique drawing animation technique, where he creates lines and captures them one frame at a time. By interposing multiplying lines, moving points, or other mobile elements, his installations generate diverse spatial transformations.
His work has been widely exhibited internationally. Recent major exhibitions include "Between Tableau and Window" at The Museum of Modern Art, Hayama (2024); "Light on the Arc" at the Aomori Contemporary Art Center (2019); Sharjah Biennial 13, "Tamawuj" (2017); Aichi Triennale 2016 and Kenpoku Art 2016 (both 2016); "BILLOWING LIGHT: ISHIDA Takashi" at the Yokohama Museum of Art and the Okinawa Prefectural Museum & Art Museum (2015); Dojima River Biennale, Osaka (2013); and "Double Vision: Contemporary Art from Japan" at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art (2012).
