作品解説
種子が蒔かれる場所に着目した作品カテゴリーからの作品。中川の作品において、ドットやグリッドは種を表します。作家が作業するテーブルは、農夫が種を蒔く大地に符合するのでしょう。
溶かした新聞紙を素材にFRPの型を用いてキャスティングでパーツを作り、それらを組み立てることで立体作品を作るのが中川の手法です。この手法では同じ形の作品を複数制作することが可能ですが、仕上げで違う作品になります。２番目の作品 A9602 は1996年に再開された昭和シェル石油現代美術賞のグランプリを受賞、同社に収蔵されています。

Born in Osaka in 1964, Yoshinobu Nakagawa now resides in Shiga prefecture. Since his first solo exhibition in 1987, the year he graduated from Osaka University of Arts, he has consistently explored the relationship between plants, agriculture, and human beings. For Nakagawa, painting resembles farming: applying pigment to a surface is like sowing seeds
into the earth.
His practice develops through four key concepts: “who sows,” “who stores,” “where to sow,” and “things sown, things stored.” These ideas appear through motifs such as farming tools, seed jars, field-like linear compositions, and delicate drawings of seed forms made with wax soot.
Although trained as a painter, Nakagawa has mainly created three-dimensional works. Moving between two-dimensional and three-dimensional expression, he continues to question the essential qualities of both painting and sculpture.
