Exhibiting “Shinkichi Tajiri: The Restless Wanderer” at Bonnefanten
Shinkichi Tajiri: The Restless Wanderer is an exhibition in the Bonnefanten Museum in Maastricht, the Netherlands, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of the Japanese-American artist Shinkichi Tajiri.
Tajiri: A Visionary Artist’s Legacy
Shinkichi Tajiri, the celebrated Japanese-American artist, is renowned for his avant-garde sculptures and mixed-media works that transcend traditional artistic boundaries. Born in 1923, Tajiri’s career spanned decades and continents, reflecting a constant evolution of his artistic expression. The Bonnefanten Museum’s decision to curate an exhibition dedicated to Tajiri pays homage to his impactful contributions to the world of contemporary art.
Canon Production Printing’s Collaboration
The exhibition is a collaboration between the Shinkichi Tajiri estate and the Bonnefanten. What makes the exhibition so unique is the intergenerational way it has been curated by Tanéa and Shakuru, Shinkichi Tajiri’s grandchildren. The family was brought into contact with Canon Production Printing. During the first meeting a flyer was shown with a paragraph of Tajiri’s life. At first the family came to ask help from our iX-series colleagues. After seeing this flyer they immediately got connected to the Arizona team, because the prints should be blown-up to big proportions. With Canon’s cutting-edge Arizona 6100 Mark II series we could offer the exhibition unparalleled print quality.
This collaboration represents a perfect synergy of tradition and innovation, as Tajiri’s timeless artworks are presented in a new light through the advanced printing capabilities of Canon’s technology.
The Tajiri exhibition at the Bonnefanten Museum stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Shinkichi Tajiri and the transformative power of collaborative efforts. Canon Production Printing’s contribution with the Arizona 6100 Mark II series has contributed to the exhibition, providing a visually stunning experience for attendees.
The exhibition Shinkichi Tajiri: The Restless Wanderer can be visited until May 12, 2024. More information available here.
