Even though I was invited to hold a solo exhibition every year, I continued to feel unreasonable.、Fujisawa's solo exhibition in Shimokitazawa、I was able to go there for the first time in several years.。For me, Mr. Fujisawa is ``a person above the clouds.''。It's almost 50 years since I first set foot in the art world.。I guess I'm a little good at it、I'm not surprised at all that it's unique and that people are praising it.、I don't feel jealous。But、his sense of freedom、It looks like I can reach it, but I can't reach it.、I feel like I can grab it, but I can't.、It is truly a high existence like a cloud.。

"Dependents of the Forest"。A park?、A broken twig that could probably be found in someone's garden.、talking about one world。rather than、Mr. Fujisawa、Breathe new life into these people who are on the verge of disappearing.、It seems to me that we have created a stage to talk about.。To him like that、Twigs are very easy-going、speak to。-If you write it like that, you'll say, ``Oh.、That's the world."、There will always be someone who pretends to know。But his short sword、They are skilled enough to reveal their noses.。Was it Sei Shonagon?、It is said that "a knife that is too sharp" is not good.、his knife is、Do not cut to the point where it breaks naturally.。I hate my heart、It's a sense that knows how to restrain itself.。

Another thing that impressed me was、“(Semi-transparent) cut paper (carelessly) pasted” on the window (bottom photo)。I am Kotaro Takamura's wife、I am in awe of Chieko's paper cutting.、Despite showing such brilliance (technically more than that)、They will probably be seen as ``off display'' to most visitors.。"Those who understand will understand," he says.、author's silence、Actually, it's not "random" at all.、I guess it's a challenge。Paper-cutting (I dare not call it paper-cutting) like the ones you see in videos such as ``Fujin Raijin'', ``Chōjū Giga'', and ``Monkey and Crab Gassen''、Maybe that's his true strength.。Please look carefully。

According to what I secretly asked his wife (this was the first time we met)、At first, I wanted to do it only with watercolors.。In that sense、This time, my eyes were drawn only to the extra parts.、Because he's still a young man、I'm sure someday an eye-catching watercolor painting will be created.。

“Living in the Climate VII” exhibition begins

「Apple-2020」    F120    Tempera, Alkyd

“Living in the Landscape VII” exhibition will be held on November 7th(soil)Until Ginza、Currently being held in a gallery style。Even though we are in the middle of the corona virus、If you are well, please come and see。

in many ways、This year is a turning point、I feel that。In terms of works over the past few years、I have been creating with an awareness of clarifying the modeling elements such as lines, surfaces, and colors.、I don't originally have the direction of purifying and pursuing just that.、This may be one of the results.。

The attitude of “pursuit” itself is also a form of “restraint.”。Remove everything other than one direction as much as possible.、This is because we have no choice but to adopt a method of stoically accumulating the results.。

In the future、I would like to reunite the several directions that I have been pursuing in a branched manner.、I'm thinking。That's not true、In fact, I was already unconsciously doing this 30 years ago.、The idea is to "consciously" reconfigure it.。Being “comprehensive” means that anything is possible.、There is also a risk that the quality will become increasingly poor.。How do we regulate that area?、Aesthetics within yourself? is the question to be asked。What will happen?。

A winning bet、That is probably、do not have。There's always something to gain and something to lose、what do you get、what did you lose、With that “something”、For example, isn't it appropriate to judge wins and losses?。

Betting is another way of saying "choice"。Including the option of “not selecting”、everyone always chooses something。So that time never stops for a moment。

so as not to fail、Taking time to think carefully is also a choice.。Giving up and letting go is also a choice。Which is correct?、No one knows at that point (maybe even after the results come out)。that's why、What it means to live、In other words, it's a bet.。

I think it's best to make a well-prepared bet.。Although there is no basis。
