「青いカモメ展」出品作の一つ。写真は出品時より少し前に撮ったものらしい。中央部分はじめ、細部もう少し描き込まれる前の状態のようだ。写真を撮るのも忘れていたらしい。

「どうしてこんな絵を描くようになったんですか」と、よく聞かれる。尋ねる側にも「以前の絵の方が良かったのに」という思いがある人と、「何が面白くてこんな絵を描くのか理解できない」という思いの人とがあるように見える。どちらも「つまらない」と言いたいのだけれど、気を遣った言い方をしてくれているに違いない。ありがとう。

Either way、一言で答えることはできないが、前者に対しては「済みません。力不足で」というしかないし、後者に対しては「むしろ理解などせず、そのまま見てくれればいい」という答えを、とりあえず用意してある。surely、自分でも面白く、楽しく描いているわけではないから、そう見えないのも仕方ない。this is、私にとって「課題作品」だから、ある程度辛さを我慢しつつ描いているのである。

どんな課題かといえば、「造形要素だけで成り立つ作品を作る」ことと「思想・感情を込める」こととの両立ということ。「なあんだ、それじゃ全ての絵がやっていることじゃないか」と言われれば、That's exactly right。However、私自身には、両方同時進行はうまくできないようだ。自分の弱い方、勉強次第で改良できる「造形」の方に力を入れている結果が、現在のかたちになっていると言えば、納得してもらいやすいのかもしれない。

The "Blue Seagull Society Painting Exhibition" started yesterday (20th, 16th):00to)。When loading the work onto the car for transport、I noticed it for the first time。“That’s it!、It’s not finished.”。

When I think back on it (the exhibited work was ``already finished in my head'')、Another work in front of me、I feel like I'm about to fall into the abyss、Trying to save it somehow、I was in the ICU for several days and was working hard.。

This is a picture that made me feel like I was going to fall into the abyss.。I tried everything but、It may have already fallen。Somehow、It looks like a hellscape。I added “Blue”、Because I was feeling so blue。worthless treatment、I feel like a doctor looking down on a dying patient.。

I was looking at it with disappointment、It's starting to look like a pathetic "self-portrait" to me.。1950The figure of an old-fashioned robot from the 2000s、It's a self-portrait with a crazy wind-up "brain" on it.。“No matter what I draw、I always keep in mind that “all of them are self-portraits.”、In that sense、This cannot exist anywhere other than my painting.、I'm starting to think。not very fun、The way of life and the expression of it are hugs。But、Maybe I should try drawing another one for now. The picture itself seems to say so.。"How naked you can be is the difference between authenticity and authenticity."、Was it someone's words?、I can't remember if it was my own thoughts.、More than drawing a picture like this、Maybe I'll be part of the Gagets family (for a while)...。

To be exact, “Blue Seagull Society/Painting Exhibition”。Starts the day after tomorrow, September 15th (Tuesday)。Even at a seagull-themed meeting、There isn't even a picture of a seagull.。This is an exhibition of a painting class called "Blue Seagull Society"。What is the name of the classroom?、Named after our blog。

This year is the 7th time。It may be an inappropriate word, but、Just look at age、Art exhibitions for elderly people (excluding school-related and competitions)、Exhibitions throughout Japan、In that sense, they became similar)。What has “become” is、More than time can't be stopped、In a sense it can't be helped。But、Little by little every year、I'm glad that the level is rising。

It's a little miso、That is proof that each member is sincerely facing the painting.、It is also the result of challenging each issue.、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。of course、I'm not a professional、There are also physical problems、Asking the world about your work、It's not like you're breathing heavily.。But、just a drawing、Don't make fun of it and think it's just a play to prevent blurring.。In recent works、This is because I have started to see things that involve essential pursuits.。

The world of paintings is deep。The world that can be drawn simply with professional technique is only a part of it.、As long as it's fun, that's fine、Hedonistic? The world is also a part of it.。in any case、what we are doing、big、just a part of the deep world、Although many things are unknown、Surprisingly right next door、can't see the bottom、I saw the entrance wide open like a deep cliff.、Now it feels like the wind。I can understand the picture、This does not mean that the explanations of critics and writers can be understood in words.、Actually like that、It means more to me that I can feel the artist's breath on my skin.。And、their pictures、Little by little, I've been able to whisper things like that.、even more happy for me。
