Taro Chiezo, born in 1962, graduated from New York University’s Cinema Studies program. In 1991, he made his debut as an artist in the exhibition Invisible Body at a gallery in SoHo, New York, alongside Dennis Oppenheim and others. The following year, he participated in the Post-Human exhibition, touring five museums across Europe with artists such as Mike Kelley and Martin Kippenberger. He is recognized as a leading figure of 1990s Neo-Pop, alongside artists like Yoshitomo Nara and Takashi Murakami. In 2024, three of his major works, including War (Pink is the Color of Blood) (1996), were newly acquired by the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo.
