From Shinsuke Fujisawa solo exhibition

At the solo exhibition venue。Mr. Fujisawa is in the foreground

Is it from a Kirin Beer box?、Fujisawa seems to be making a collage of Kirin prints.
"Night rain on the balcony"

I went to the "Shinsuke Fujisawa Solo Exhibition" being held at Gallery AYUMI in Kagurazaka, Tokyo (11/14-19).。The exhibition is titled ``Colors that start running, shapes that start laughing.''、-Seeing sound through paper cutting and wire art- is the subtitle.。color、A concept where shapes are connected by “sound”。

What I really feel while looking at the work is、Although techniques can be imitated to some extent with practice.、Sense cannot do that.、This person is building his "own" snowboard "road"。Cut paper painted with watercolors、Layer boldly on top of those already pasted.。Even if it's just that in words、No one can make the same (impression) (though that's not a minor thing at all)。

Why can't it be done?、This is because Mr. Fujisawa's life (everything) overlaps with that.。- Stops where the tip of the cutter knife is.、bend、cut off。I have no choice but to intuitively decide where to paste it.、It can't be a coincidence。
Even if it's just a single wire、Prior to his experience as a sculptor、An eye for selecting materials that is integrated with one's own physical reactions.、At the same time as the form。I feel the softness of the artist's sensitivity in being able to be honest with such sensations (five senses).。Every time I see Fujisawa's solo exhibition,、I'm always shocked by his honesty。And、I regret that many people still don't know about it.。

expression

"Boy's Kao" Pen

Speaking of children、It depends on your age, but it starts with “cute”、It is filled with a list of “positive” compliments such as “innocent,” “innocent,” “radiant,” “full of energy,” etc.。Not cute、suspicious、gloomy、rebellious、When your child finds words to say such as、From a one-sided adult perspective that says, “It’s not like a child.”、That alone tends to give it a low rating.。

When you see the expressions of children in Gaza in videos etc.、Even small children can have complex and major anxiety and emotional turmoil.、visible to everyone。Even if it is not a huge and direct pressure like Gaza、For example, if your mother gets sick and goes to bed,、Shadows quickly appear on children's faces.。(Children) Stereotype adults who think that they are just innocent and cute、She's so innocent and cute、Children may be disappointed。

erase your facial expressions as much as possible、For example, it looks like a simple mechanical robot.、no eyes or nose、Even if I draw a face like an eggshell、The viewer seems to (unconsciously) try to read the ``expression'' there.。being able to read facial expressions、Because it was necessary for humans to survive.、It is also said that、Probably so。

favorite face、face I don't like、Does anyone have their own preference for face? There is。This may be because I sometimes see myself reflected in the target's face, like a mirror.。When modifying a single outline、Something like "taste" that is slightly mixed in。There's something about the person who draws the sketch.、I'm sure it's photographed。

pencil、Do you “sharpen”?

``Tin Bird, etc.'' Black、green、brown pen

Applications for various documents, online shopping such as Amazon, etc.、Characters are entered exclusively by typing on the keyboard (on smartphones, there is no typing at all).、Pencil for everyday things、I almost no longer write with a ballpoint pen.、I think there are many people who say。Even people who write in a diary every day、Have you switched from a pen to a keyboard at some point?。Do you sharpen your pencils?

Fortunately? I don't know if、For convenience of drawing、Use pencils and pens on a daily basis。Still、For example, I think my consumption of pencils has decreased to about 1/1000 compared to when I was a child.。

when thinking of ideas、Monitor and keyboard are not enough。Only where the tip of a pen or pencil meets the paper、I can't come up with any ideas that I can grasp.。There is also a pen tablet、So I can modify the work in progress.、Sometimes I think about immediate ideas.。But、There is something “uncomfortable” about that. 。

It doesn't seem like it's just a matter of getting used to it.。What is the sensation of feedback from hands and fingers to the brain, and the sensation of feedback from a keyboard and monitor?、The location in the brain where past experiences meet is different、There is a feeling that。Sometimes there are places where you can see the same scenery.、Sometimes I see a completely different landscape、As I draw, I get rid of tension from my body。Anyway、The slight friction feeling coming from the tip of a pencil or pen is pleasant.。
