The Universe by Takashi Iwasaki
Oil on canvas
Winnipeg is a very creative city. We have great local galleries that support local artists and a very supportive community of people that come out to the shows. One artist in particular is gaining recognition around the world for his brightly coloured works that are inspired by
his positive attitude. Takashi Iwasaki is, as he calls it, an “art enjoyer”. But now it seems that many people are enjoyers of his art. We can’t help but fall in love with all the vibrant colours and enchanting drawings.

Takashi works in many mediums, which he says keeps his thoughts and ideas fluid and flexible. Some of the various media he uses include painting, drawing, printmaking, collage and embroidery. He has even come up with a nickname for a group of his abstract drawings, which he calls “Abbies”.
