Shinsuke Fujisawa Exhibition:The deep relationship between artists and tools

From the solo exhibition venue
From the exhibited works:See how to cut two pieces of paper
From the exhibited works:Rather than “paper-cutting” to trace the shape.、Cutting and drawing are fused

Does holding a knife change your personality?、What does it mean that your personality changes when you get behind the wheel (drive)?、It sometimes creeps up at the corner of my mouth as a half-joking story.。But、We are always the subject (superior)、Because I was taught that I use things and means (lower level) based on my own will.、At most, it is treated as nothing more than a joke.。

But when I was a child、When I pick up scissors, I feel like cutting anything into small pieces.、I'm sure everyone has had the experience of picking up a shovel and finding potholes all over the place.。I didn't bring out the scissors because I wanted to cut it.、Didn't you feel like digging a (useless) hole just because you had a shovel?。

Many artists (I don't like to call them that)、It also refers to people who never let go of the scissors and shovels they had in their childhood.。Even if it looks like just a tool、I got used to it over the years、If you hone your skills, they will transform into incredible weapons.。Or rather、reveals its true form。That's Fujisawa's cutter.。

Because it is used too much、He naturally becomes a cutter himself.。I'm not thinking of cutting it like this.、Before I knew it, I had already cut it.、That feeling。Otherwise, it would be impossible to create a sharp “shape” with no waste.。Although it is a very mathematical line、Cutting that contains a child-like derailed play somewhere.。He is originally a sculptor、When cutting wood, it becomes the chisel itself.、Sometimes used as a spatula for applying clay。Also a painter、Sometimes it becomes a brush。Also a Cutter、When I'm a poet, I become a cute twig。It seems normal, but it's not normal.。(Shimokitazawa:Gallery HANA)
