Work Details
わたしの絵画は、風景画という絵画のいち形態を端緒として、絵画の絵画たる所以をさぐるものです。「風景のなかにみた色を再現する」というひとつの行為のみを選択し、そのシンプルな行為の結果、現代のひとが観る絵画の(不)必要性が明らかになると考えています。
今回のシリーズでは、手術前後の食事の記録を素材にしました。胃の手術がわたし自身にもたらすものを象徴していると思いますし、また観賞者に意味を読む“時間”を与えるのに最適な素材かもしれないと考えたからです。これまでどおり写真をモザイクに加工し、色を抜き出し、忠実に絵の具でドットを描いていく。写真を見せれば簡単に得られる情報ですが、抽象化された曖昧な「絵画」は、それを読解する時間をかけて観賞者に「情報」以上のなにかを伝えられるのではないか、と思う。それは、絵の具や帆布の物質性と筆致、作家の身体性という些細な現象も含んだうえでの「情報」です。たとえば、食前食後の時間経過、胃を切除したひとの「食べる」ということについて。
スマホやインターネットで簡単に情報を得られる時代になりました。それを否定はしませんが、それがすべてであるのか、ということに問いを投げかけたい。実際に触れて、経験して、五感で見た世界にこそ真実があるということ、またわたしたちの捉え方は多様であるということを忘れずにいたい。そして、人間性を育み、他者を受け入れるという素地がアートにはあるということを伝え、人々の心を豊かにし、今よりも世界をすこしでも優しいものにすることを、これからも目標にしていきます。

My work explores the origin of a painting, using a form of landscape painting as a starting point. I choose only one action of it: reproducing the colours in landscape. I believe, as a result, it would reveal the (un-)necessity of a painting viewed by the people living in today’s society.
In the series “REVIVE”, I use the record of photos of meals before and after the surgery. This is because I think it would symbolise what stomach surgery brings to myself, and it might be the best material to give the viewers time to read the meanings. I have processed the photos into mosaics, extracted colours from them, and faithfully painted dots with it. The information can be easily obtained by showing a photograph, but I think that the abstracted vague "paintings" can tell something more than "information" to the viewers by taking time to read and understand it. It is a Information that includes minor phenomena such as the materiality of canvas, touch of paints, and the physicality of the artist. For example, the passage of time before and after a meal, or what is "to eat" for a person whose stomach has been removed.
It’s the period like you can feel like you know everything easily just by swiping the touchscreen or surfing the internet. I don't deny that we're in a world of convenience, however, I want to question whether we really see and understand the world (or you) in a true sense. I want to convey we must remember that the truth is in the world that we actually touch, experience and see with our five senses, and that our perception could be diverse. And in the result of communicating that art would be essential to nurture humanity and has the potential to accept others, I believe it will enrich people's hearts and make the world a little more kind.

Artist
Fine artist who pursues the boundary.
I paint extremely abstracted ‘landscape painting', focusing only on the single point of ‘extracting colour from the landscape’. This is a work that raises questions about the way we view landscapes in today's IT-enabled society, and aims to provide an opportunity to realise the essence of ‘landscapes’, which can now be easily recorded and viewed by anyone, while moving between the boundaries of real and abstract, analogue and digital.

人と人、人と場所、場所と記憶。わたしの作品は、厳密に言うなれば、その接点そのものでしかありません。こちらとあちらを繋ぎ、観賞者にあちらを“理解”しようと一歩を踏み出させる、そんな使命をもったトリガーとなる作品をつくりつづけたいと思っています。これからもご支援よろしくお願いいたします。
Strictly speaking, my artwork is just the single point of contact between people and people, people and places, places and memories. I want to continue creating artworks that would serve as a trigger with a mission to connect us with each other, and to make viewers take a step forward to "understanding" it. Thank you for your support!
