Month: October 2025

The weather was kind of sluggish today、It was nice that it was cool (some people were pretty close to getting ready for winter).。Green persimmon、I wrote the other day that it is easier to draw than a red persimmon.、I have nothing to write about today.。I'll post a sketch for now。Because it's a green persimmon、Does it become too soft?、I can concentrate because I don't have to worry about eating.。

Even just this sketch、It takes surprisingly long time。and it's not interesting。That's why I don't sketch anything.、I have already written about young painters who。That's also true。Especially me etc.、The work I present will be in a much simpler form.、I'm aiming for something that anyone can draw.、The gap with the sketch is even bigger.。

But、I never thought it was a waste。Rather、From announcements made several times a year、Because I think that everyday things like that are more important.、Maybe I should try drawing it so it looks like this from the front.、I feel like it's something essential for me.。

I have never had a solo exhibition in my life.、There are some painters who never sell a single painting.。That's why、Is it okay to call the painter “just an amateur”?。when the artist died、Many (somewhat well-known) painters、Apparently he came to pick up the work.。

It became a mysterious picture.。in a bad way。Originally, this place was a somewhat unrealistic scene (it was actually somewhere in Tokyo), but it was a mysterious scene.、Even if I tried to make it easier to understand by adding some logic to it,、The suspicious atmosphere did not go away (of course it is okay to have a suspicious atmosphere itself)。

A person who draws a picture must understand all the motifs before drawing.、I'm not trying to say something that's unlikely to happen, but、Don't be so confused。What I don't understand、Because I'm drawing without understanding、This is also conveyed to the viewer.。

at the very back、a child is standing alone。Is that the bellybutton in this picture?。Composition、be in the perspective focus of the screen。Front left、with the two on the right、The viewer's line of sight zigzags (should) lead to this belly button.。With this mechanism、I'm sure many people will want to see this child's face.。The calculation formula was good, but、Each element is ambiguous。You can't catch fish with this。

Persimmons are often the subject of paintings.。Arts and crafts for elementary and junior high school students、From art classes to productions by amateur painters、With easily available art supplies、What's more, it comes with the added bonus of being able to finish it by eating it.。

But、What everyone draws、It's also that it's too common.。No matter how well you draw、That alone has no impact。Famous painters avoided persimmons that looked delicious and ripe.、I dared to draw a green persimmon。The Japanese painter Kokei Kobayashi's ``Green Persimmon'' is one of these masterpieces.。

Those who look closely at green persimmons、I don't think there are many people other than persimmon farmers and people who grow them as garden plants for their families.。for the general public、Persimmons are products that are sold at supermarkets.、Painters on the contrary、I have no interest in persimmons that have become (or have become) commercial products as a subject.、still untouched、This is especially true for “blue persimmons,” which have no commercial value.、I discovered the scent of naive art.。
on the other hand、"Ice cream" "Tempura" etc.、"Products" processed by human hands、Today's young people are instead viewing it head-on as a ``new subject.''。Not as commercial art、as pure art。When I first saw a work that had images of ``bento'' and ``ramen'' drawn all over the screen, I was shocked and wondered, ``Do I really want to draw something like this?''、Now even that is starting to feel like a classic.。

Now, what will happen to "green persimmon" as a subject in the future?。Will it eventually cease to be painted as a traditional subject?。The "naive fragrance" felt by painters of the past、I still feel a little...。
