TYM344 was born in 1986 Tokyo, Japan and earned his B.F.A. from Waseda University School of Humanities, majoring in art history. The artist often uses important artworks throughout history or well-known advertising pictures and transforms them into black and white paintings. TYM344 believes that "to paint is to create a determined image," and he aims to make all unmovable objects into binarized, non-animated paintings. With overflowing pictures spreading nowadays, TYM344 converts images into monochrome paintings, ensuring the originality of his artworks. TYM344’s main exhibition experiences include 2015 “Substance” at Shinjuku Ganka Art Gallery, Tokyo, 2017 “Hard/Soft'' and “Never Understand" at Naonakamura Gallery, Tokyo, and 2020 “Eye Know Eye Love You Better" at The blank Gallery, Tokyo. He recently hosted two solo exhibitions, “Leisure” and “Where It’s At”, in 2021 and 2022 at Medel Gallery Shu, Tokyo and Oil by Bijutsutecho Gallery, Tokyo.
