2週間に渡って開催されたContemporary art exhibition が無事終了しました。累計約380名の方にお越しいただきました。会の規模や知名度、地理的条件、昨今の状況から鑑みてこの来訪者数は上出来だと思います。何よりも皆様から多くの応援や暖かい言葉を頂けた事が一番の成果と思います。また色々な新しい繋がりが出来ました。これからも休む事なく制作を続けて新作を皆様に披露出来たらと思います。ちなみに有難い事に石アートは完売しました^ ^

Contemporary art exhibition held through for two weeks has finished peacefully. Sum of the visitors were about 380. Considering the scale and name recognition of this exhibition, inconvenient location and recent situation, I think this number of visitors is wonderful. More than anything, the best result is that we received a lot of support and warm words from everyone. And I got new connections with some people. I hope that I’ll continue to produce new works without rest and show them to everyone 🙂 Btw, thankfully all of my stone art was sold out!

インスタレーションとは空間と一体化した芸術の事で特に制限はありません。一方絵画には四角形という基本的な制約があります。これまではその四角の中でどうやって独自の個性を出すかが私の主眼でしたが、ドイツで円形の絵を描いた事でいわゆる『絵の常識』から自分を解放出来ました。今回は更に布や紐、更にはお寺の柱全てをひっくるめてインスタレーション”森”という作品を作った事で、自分のアートの可能性が広がった気がします。日本画材をベースにどこまでこの作風を追求出来るか、気の向くままにやってみます。

Installation is the art uniting with the spaces, there’re no restrictions. On the other hand, painting has the basic limitation of a square. Until now, my main focus for making painting was that how can I express my unique characteristics inside square, but by making a circular work in Germany, I was able to free from the so called “common sense of painting”. And this time, I feel that the possibilities of my art have expanded by creating a work titled “Forest”, which is an installation that involves all the cloth, strings, and even the pillars of the temple. I’ll try to find out how far I can pursue this style based on Japanese painting materials.
