《名古屋港16:45》
夕方の名古屋港、16時45分。
日が傾き始め、空と海と街が同じ色に染まる瞬間を、
光そのものを描くように表現した作品。
赤や橙の層は、沈みゆく太陽の熱や、
街のざわめきの残響を思わせる。
人影の消えたテーブルと椅子は、
そこにあった日常の温度や記憶を静かに映し出している。
時間と空気がひとつの画面に溶け合うことで、
「一日の終わり」という何気ない一瞬が
永遠のような輝きを帯びている。
YoAjo
Paintings, Japanese painting/Chinese painter
Born in 1988 in Fujian, China
Completed the Research Student Program in Japanese Painting at Aichi University of the Arts in 2022.
Received a Master’s degree in Japanese Painting from Nagoya University of Arts in 2024.
Currently based in Japan and actively engaged in artistic practice.
my research and practice focus on the spatial and temporal expressions of emaki (traditional narrative picture scrolls) in contemporary Japanese painting. Drawing inspiration from folktales and employing the “iji-dōzu” technique — a compositional method found in emaki that depicts different moments in time within a single scene — she analyzes and reconstructs subjects from multiple perspectives to explore new possibilities of pictorial expression.

時間線
昔話に留まらず日常に起こっているストーリーにも注目し、物語の現代性を推進させた。《母は誰だろう》では、群れるおたまじゃくしが母を探す過程で様々な動物たちに出会いながら、自身の体が変化し、最後には母と同じ姿になっていくような物語を展開させた。小さなエピソードの中にあるおたまじゃくしの動向が時間軸の展開を進めていった。制作の過程において古典絵巻や大和絵に見られる景の転換箇所を霞で覆う手法ではなく、経年変化を表す「剥落」の技法を生かした。画面に必要なモチーフを残し省略部分については剥落をさせた。
