10/12(Tue) Cloudy and then rain。Get out of the gallery where our group exhibition is being held early.、I decided to go home after seeing Yasuo Ishimaru's solo exhibition at "Gallery Natsuka" in Kyobashi.。
Mr. Ishimaru is from Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture.。There is a remote island called Otsushima off the coast of Shunan City.。There is an underwater suicide weapon used by the Japanese army during the Pacific War.、There was a training base for the human torpedo "Kaiten"。This comes from the peculiarity of the base, where the main structures are under water.、Hydrophilicity between the sea (water) and concrete、An image of the rust on the reinforcing steel seeping out。That is the motif for the work.、I heard it from the person himself a long time ago.。
Before becoming a member of the Kokugakai、A thick block up to 30cm thick、Add delicate unevenness、Let the pale blue water flow and stop it、An expression that gradually deepens the color by flowing and holding it.、There was a time when it was subtitled ``From Otsushima.''。I was also a weapons enthusiast when I was a child.、That subtitle caught my attention.。And I imagined an older writer appropriate for that age group.、Mr. Ishimaru is a much younger writer than me.。My hair is still black、It's bushy。Since then, I have been working with Mr. Ishimaru.、What kind of philosophy does this relate to?、How to shape the uniqueness of a motif、I watched it with interest。彼の表現はその原点に重くも軽くもなく誠実で、かつ現代に生きる若い人の感性とを、クールに調和させて来ているように思える。
個展会場に入ると、浅い水の中になかば沈んだ建築（それも神殿のような）の内側、大理石の壁や床に描く、I felt like I was watching an eternal play of waves and light.。That shallow water feeling、Ever since I became aware of his work、Will never change。when I asked、I was the only audience member because of the rain.。His paintings are quiet paintings.。Soak your body in the summer sea、Feels like you're swimming while swimming。制作中はどんな音楽（音）を聴くのだろう、と思っていたが訊きそびれた。
