Tetsuya Nakamura (born 1968, Chiba,Tokyo) is a Japanese artist.

Profile
Born in the Chiba Prefecture in 1968, Nakamura studied Urushi-Art (Japanese Lacquer) at Tokyo University of the Arts, and has since produced various sculptural works while bringing focus to the input that visual information can potentially have on living things. Since 1998, he has developed a sculptural work titled "Replica Series" that replicate jet aircrafts under themes such as "speed" and "remodeling" that serve as symbols of modern society. In recent years he has produced robot works that take on the aesthetics of weathering observed in custom paint culture, as well as sculptural works reminiscent of synthetic life forms that are evocative of a certain biological interest.

Nakamura’s work can also be interpreted as having a context similar to the Italian avant-garde art movement of "Futurism," which often tends to be misunderstood. More recently however, his oeuvre has shifted to depict forms that are more suggestive of organic and biological information, and going beyond 20th century themes like the visualization of monistic energy and functions, enables viewers to imagine the aesthetics of organic life forms that exist in the distant future.
