Roy Taro

Visual Artist and Space Crew

Born in 1994, Roy Taro is based in Tokyo, Japan.

He graduated from the School of Law at Waseda University in 2016.

He creates paintings and poems as a connected series of narratives.

Using real landscapes as motifs, he depicts a world in which a green sun exists. In the process of creating his works, he researches existing myths, the natural environments around him, and local cultures.

During his final year at university, he visited Yap Island in Micronesia. Living with the islanders became a turning point that led him to realize that art was the path he wanted to pursue. He began creating works through photography and poetry in 2017, and through painting in 2018.
