TIDE (Tatsuhiro Ide) is a Japanese contemporary artist known for his monochromatic, vintage cartoon-inspired compositions, blending whimsical nostalgia, subtle melancholy, and minimalist storytelling. His signature black cat character, expressive yet enigmatic, appears in various surreal and introspective settings, evoking themes of innocence, solitude, and the quiet moments of life. Inspired by classic American animation, Japanese folklore, and contemporary pop culture, TIDE’s work bridges playfulness with emotional depth, creating a visual dialogue between past and present. With increasing international recognition through exhibitions in Tokyo, New York, Seoul, London, and major contemporary galleries, his paintings, sculptures, and limited-edition works are highly sought after. If you’re looking to acquire original TIDE artworks or considering selling, request a complimentary valuation and connect with a network of serious collectors and art market specialists.
