Taro Takizawa is an artist specializing in printmaking, wall vinyl installations, drawings, and 2D designs. His work blends both Western and Eastern aesthetics, with a deep appreciation for traditional printmaking processes and the art of mark-making. Takizawa is fascinated by the fusion of contemporary studio practices with traditional methods, exploring the boundaries between printmaking and installation art. He earned his BFA with a printmaking emphasis from Central Michigan University and completed his MFA in printmaking at Syracuse University in 2017. Takizawa has exhibited his work both nationally and internationally at prominent venues such as the Fowler-Kellogg Art Center, PARADOX European Fine Art Forum in Poland, ArtPrize 10 at the Grand Rapids Public Museum, LUX Center for the Arts, the China Printmaking Museum, Tyger Tyger Gallery, and Kai Lin Art in Atlanta, GA. He has also participated in several artist residencies, including those at the Saltonstall Foundation for the Arts, Morgan Conservatory, GoggleWorks, and Lawrence Arts Center. Takizawa currently serves as the Assistant Professor of Art at the University of North Carolina (UNC) Wilmington.
