From Yasuo Ishimaru's solo exhibition

Yasuo Ishimaru solo exhibition venue - Gallery Natsuka (Kyobashi, Tokyo)。18until the day)
part of the work

I went to Yasuo Ishimaru's solo exhibition.。I went out thinking it was cool, but、Is it due to Typhoon No. 23?、It was surprisingly hot and humid。Is Mr. Ishimaru still the same? You seemed to be doing well and had good physical strength.。As always、This is because the energy emanating from the exhibited works、Compared to last time, it hadn't weakened at all.。

As usual, large works were lined up in rows.、Although it may seem like a simple task at first glance,、If you look closely, it's really delicate.、I can see that you are spending a lot of time。

The motivation for creating、World War II、The existence of Otsushima, which was a base for the Japanese military's special attack weapon "Human Torpedo - Kaiten"、It is said that it is deeply connected to his own growth period.。But、The viewer doesn't need to know that.。Just be honest about the work。

What I feel from the work is “scars”。Not an image of pain、the scar is there。I don't dare to reveal it or show it off.、I'm not trying to hide it、look at the scars there。insatiably、Also, try to sympathize with the wound itself, not simply but deeply.。Such a writer's attitude、feel the gaze。

Let's practice

"Running Children" Watercolor on rough paper

Practice colors and brushstrokes that match the paper quality.。-If you draw, you will always come across something that you can't do well.。Is your technique unskilled?、Don't you understand the logic properly?、There are various reasons such as lack of concentration etc.、In any case, you'll run into something that you can't do well.。

Anyone can improve with practice。But、it's not infinite。Improvement stops at a certain point、From there onwards、Just maintaining that is several times more difficult.、Eventually, as physical strength declines, it becomes impossible to maintain、"Level" decreases。One of the “constant things” is age (physical strength)、Many people would imagine that。No one can avoid physical challenges.、this makes sense。spiritual aspect too、It is not unnatural to think that there may be some indispensable relationship with age.。

But、When asked at what age does progress stop?、Actually it doesn't make any sense。80Even if you start from age、As long as you have passion, you will improve rapidly.。On the other hand, even if you start at 20 years old, 4、5Improvement stops as the years pass。at least、I think that's the level of improvement you can see.。In other words, the technical level is determined to a certain extent.、Whether it's early or late、That's the goal anyway。In that sense、The sooner you arrive, the more time you will have available.、Is it like that?。

“There are things I can’t do well.”。How you overcome it depends on your experience.。Unlike physical strength、My experience continues to increase (though I do forget things).、Instead of compensating for the decline in physical strength with experiential knowledge,、There is a possibility that this will lead to the creation of more advanced technology.、Not small at all。
in short、in any case、That you won't be disappointed。By practicing, anyone can “increase their experiential wisdom”。Because “there are things I can’t do”、Wisdom from experience can become deeper and richer、That's what it means, isn't it?。-Let's practice.、everyone。

babysitters

"Babysitters"

children playing in the park、It's almost evening when I go home one by one with my mother.、It looks like that。But、that's not your mom、each babysitter。

I won't draw it here、There is a person in the middle who acts as a “watchman”。In the middle of Tokyo、A certain everyday life。Let's draw a piece of Squis。
