1978年長野県生まれ、2004年東京造形大学造形学部美術学科比較造形卒業、05年同大学研究生修了。自身の心象風景や無意 識に見えてしまう虚像を、金属板や工業製品の表面に大小の傷やサビなどを施すことで具現化している。SHINaNOBOYaは幼少期 のイマジナリーフレンドで自身の記憶の中で初めて作ったを造形物であり2018に実家で発掘された。それ以降欠かせないモチーフ
の一つとなり素材の制限が無くなるきっかけにもなった。近年は2つの絵を画面上でリフレクトさせ閉じ込める内向的な表現の作品も 発表している。存在というものにフォーカスした制作スタイルは絵画にとどまらず彫刻やインスタレーション作品など多岐に展開して いる。

Born in Nagano, Japan in 1978, Shinnosuke Tojo graduated from Tokyo Zokei University in 2004 with a bachelor's degree in Comparative Art, Department of Fine Arts, and completed a research course at the same university in 2005. His work involves materializing his own mental landscapes and unconsciously perceived virtual images by applying large and small scratches and rust to the surfaces of metal plates and industrial products.
“SHINaNOBOYa” is the name of his imaginary friend from childhood and the first sculpture he ever made from memory. The work was unearthed at his parents' house in 2018, and since then it has become one of his essential motifs, which also helped him to remove material restrictions. In recent years, he has also been showing works that reveal an introverted expression captured by two paintings reflected on a screen. His production style, which focuses on the theme of existence, is not limited to painting, but also includes sculpture and installation works.
