You’ll Be Surprised at the Art That Has Been Made Using Excel

You’ll Be Surprised at the Art That Has Been Made Using Excel

Defining art can be a challenging task, particularly in light of the constantly evolving techniques and mediums. At its core, art can be succinctly described as the creative expression of an individual using some form of medium.

Japanese artist Tatsuo Horiuchi provides a unique illustration of this concept, utilizing a medium that is familiar to both art enthusiasts and outsiders. His artistry takes a very literal and unconventional path, however. Instead of traditional materials like clay or paint, he crafts his artwork using the cells within a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

Tatsuo Horiuchi's journey into this distinctive art form began after retiring from his career as a medical equipment engineer. Seeking a creative outlet but lacking the conventional art supplies and the inclination to invest in them, he turned to a readily available tool: Excel. Although he had never used the software for artistic purposes, Tatsuo embarked on a journey of self-education, exploring the software's features and discovering how to employ various tools to achieve different artistic effects. He repurposed the autoshape feature for the overall design, transformed the graph-focused line tool into trees, and utilized the fill tool to create shading that added depth to his paintings.

Over the years, through diligent self-learning, Tatsuo's artistic process evolved. Starting in 2000 with the aspiration to create artwork worth sharing within a decade, his initial years were dedicated to mastering Excel's tools to create recognizable shapes and objects. The subsequent three years saw him combining these elements into coherent images. In 2006, his talents earned him recognition when he won the Excel Autoshape Art Contest.

Since then, Tatsuo's art has graced the walls of prestigious institutions like the Gunma Museum of Art, sharing this honor with renowned artists such as Monet and Renoir. View some of his works here
