Takashi's personal blog。Not just about paintings、What I think about every day、what you feel、I write whatever comes to mind。This blog is the third generation。From the beginning, it has been over 20 years.。 2023From January 1st、For now, I decided to just write on odd numbered days.。I'm going to think about my future direction and other things piece by piece.。

dish-washing

「Apple」 　2020 Alquid

I think about many things while washing the dishes.。Rather than sitting still and thinking、For some reason, I come up with better ideas while washing the dishes.。I often read that it is easier to come up with ideas while taking a walk.、In my case, my associations quickly spread from what I saw.、It doesn't seem suitable for thinking。

In most cases, the content of what we think is、It's about the picture I'm about to draw.、Washing the dishes after breakfast is the most important thing.。That's why、In a daze, I drop the plate and break it.、Nothing happens。Are there any stains left on the pots and pans?、Check to make sure there are no sauces or cabbage bits stuck to the bottom or edges of the sink.。Ideally, you should be more beautiful today than you were yesterday.、I think in my heart。While doing so、Try drawing the picture you are about to draw today in a different part of your head.。to simulate。

When you actually draw、The smoothness of the paint、I get distracted by color unevenness that happens by chance.、In the simulation, it's as calm as watching someone else draw.。Then, halfway through, it stops at a scene where you say, ``Huh? This is weird.''。Almost like recording and playback。Replaying the images in my head over and over again、Think about the causes and solutions for the areas of concern.。

There are only a few dishes to wash (especially in the morning), so it takes at most 30 minutes.。Usually it takes about 15 minutes。Most of the time, the immediate solution will be ready.。I can't think of anything big、Only one serving。Still、before actually standing in front of the canvas、This simulation is very effective。Washing the dishes is not my responsibility.。sit still、Because I might be standing all the time.、I just started doing it on my own to refresh my head and blood flow to my lower back.。A new relationship between washing dishes and painting。

Evaluation of “inaction”

"Blue pot and apple" 2020 watercolor

"Omission" means "something you don't dare to do."、has a positive meaning。A similar word is "random".、This means "without thinking"、Almost "coincidentally"。in many cases、Evaluation is based on "results"、Evaluating what you don't do、including the method、I imagine it would be surprisingly difficult。

in many cases、There are stages in evaluation.。A typical example is grade evaluation during student days.。Even in cases that cannot be expressed in numbers、Positivity、Coordination、Things like “bright personality (!)” are rated “high”.、For the type who tries to do everything alone、Lack of coordination、It is easy to get negative evaluations such as self-righteousness.。I think the idea that ``hikikomori'' = ``evil'' = ``we should try to bring them out into society somehow'' comes from this kind of evaluation.。go outside、When I'm told that I have to work with people、Art doesn't work、It would be better to become a society where people can survive even if they remain shut in.。

What is "positivity"?。Suppose a project is planned。The third place was those who supported/promoted, and those who opposed or pondered.、At the very least, opinions will be divided.。At this time、From the perspective of those who planned the project、Supporters = active、ほかの２グループは消極的と評価される可能性が大きい。反対する人は「敵対勢力」と見做されることだってありうる。「協調性」って何だろうか。嫌々でもリーダーに従っていれば、「協調性が無い」という評価はされないと思う。vice versa、積極的にそのプロジェクトを理解し、その長短を考慮した上での反対であっても、少なくとも協調性を高く評価されることは（少なくとも私の知りうる範囲内では）稀有。

かなり荒っぽい論理になってしまうが、評価する側（の姿勢）に評価基準が偏りがちだということが、「不作為」の評価を難しくしている（ある意味自然とも言えるが）。日本の社会は、「提案・推進」＝「建設的」と短絡的に捉えたがる精神風土を持っている。Moreover,、その提案自体、上意下達的な場合が多いように見える。提案に対する反対の場合でも「反対するなら対案を出せ」という言い方をよく聞くが、これも提案＝建設的という固定した考え方をよく示している。そろそろ「AでなければBかC」ではなく、「Aそのものをしない」という不作為の評価と、その方法を考える時代になってきているのではないだろうか。

white & black

"Black Bottle and Apple" 2020 Watercolor

white thing、drawing black things、Feels like a bit of a challenge。"White things" are expressed by darkening the surroundings.、“Whiteness of whiteness” is、Accurately measure the order of darkness between the main body and the surrounding area.、Must be expressed in that order。Moreover,、Not stepless、Summarize into 5-6 steps、Operations such as rounding are also required.。

Same goes for the black ones、If you just paint it flat and black, it will just become a “hole”.。By subtly depicting changes in brightness and darkness within the black、Expressing the texture of black objects。On paper, the difference between "black" and "darkness" is、The criterion is whether there is a material feel or not.。A camera-like eye that discerns light and darkness、Other than techniques to distinguish it、There is nothing that supports “black things” as objects.。And yet、Even if you can draw well, the gradation is rough at best.、It just looks like a photo、With its sparkling gorgeousness and rich taste of color,、almost unrelated white and black。However, for the artist、This stoic mania、It's strange because sometimes I want to taste it just like I remember it.。

Tempera or Aquila、"Apple" in oil and green apple in watercolor、Between last November and this March、I drew about 20 pictures from No. 4 to No. 120.。I don't think there's enough production.。“Apple” in tempera and oil is painted in the head.。Watercolor “apples” are drawn with the eye.。Too much time is spent on the “head”。Is this the right relationship between the head and eyes, or is it just a hug?、I'm not sure myself at the moment。

In the sketch above, the green apple is the dummy (tentative) protagonist.、The role of the eye catcher。The real star is the black liquor bottle (center of the screen)、maximum contrast)。Even though it's the main character、My hobby is cutting off the top.。I'm thinking of making a play (pantomime).。
