This year I did a “mini declutter”。in the heat、People are in a self-restraint mood and don't go out much anymore.、This is because I was keenly aware of how small the room was (and how many things I didn't use).、After a few days,、(I wonder why I threw it away?)。その過程で、Cheap papers that I had bought a long time ago started appearing everywhere.。

When I was little、I didn't have enough paper to doodle on.。arithmetic、The Japanese notes are far from the surroundings.、Back cover、The final phrase is the graffiti on the main body part.、I could see something from the class in that gap.。Draw between the lines of textbooks、I also drew it on my classmate's notebook.、I also drew on the back of the paper during the test.。Sometimes my mother would go around to get paper from the neighbors' houses that we would otherwise throw away.。

that's why、Throwing away paper that has nothing written on it、I feel quite guilty。Author of "Koya Sei"、Kyoka Izumi、Throwing away things that have letters written on them、I hated whatever it was.、I remember reading that somewhere.、It may be presumptuous to compare, but I remember that it resonated with me deeply.。

This is why、I was planning to draw something and then throw it away.、sketch on those papers、I started drawing croquis。Then、One bottle、Every time I drew a line, I felt like something was awakening.。

It's not enough just to draw it.。Apparently, the questioner thinks that "the concrete result of sketching" brings fun.、this is another kind of disease、It's an addiction or something I already have.、I felt that。If I don't draw, I'll die、Drawing is the only medicine that works、I think again。"If you take the poison, go to the plate."。I can't let go of medicine until the end。

"Blue seagull exhibition" will be held on the 20th、Successfully completed (?) under the coronavirus。I have put up an unfinished work for sale.、Although it is late, I will be exhibiting the completed work here (although not much has changed).。

Personally、I have been working on works that can be called the "Apple" series for a long time.。There is no such thing as this being a single result.、It's about time to sort out the trial and error so far.、Aiming for a comprehensive work、I was thinking about this work before and after.。

I think we will have many opportunities to see works like this throughout this year.、We are already trying to integrate some small items, so、Those prototypes、I'm sure there will be more failed works in the future.。Expectations? please。

I will return to the blue seagull exhibition.、This time too, I felt the importance of “failing”.。Are all the works that were found “interesting” “on a fine line between failure”?、There were many works where ``there is an interesting attempt in failure'' and ``you don't even realize it's a failure.''。The openness to admit some (or a few) failures、Self-centered curiosity is the ``cause of failure''、In that sense、Failure is what it is、I believe that this is the origin of one's individuality.。

All masterpieces in the history of painting、There are only ``big failures'' before ``previous masterpieces''。The history of painting is itself a history of failure.。baroque paintings、今でこそ絵画の黄金時代と呼ばれていますが、The word "baroque" itself、「野蛮な」「奇妙な」という意味を持つ語です。当時は「変な絵だなー」と思われていたのです。

At the "Blue Seagull Exhibition"、Let's draw more weird pictures (of course, you probably won't think of them as weird)。Let's draw a new picture。But、What is “new”?。For me, it's "normal"、in nature、It means "interesting"。however、Meaning "normal" and "natural"、Not on a scale determined by others、The only condition is that it is “for me”。Words seem easy, but、Achieving this is、It's never easy。

Let's use the word "elderly" with openness here.。There's not a long way to go。While saying something、I have lived patiently so far。It's too late now、If I continue to draw pictures from someone else's point of view,、Even if you die, you can't die, right? Grandchildren、He said he drew his great-grandson cute.、I'm only happy with it out of obligation.。More than that、It's not a nova explosion though、Take one more step、Wouldn't it be more fun to die with a bang? I'm sure the children too、My grandson also said, ``Grandpa.、Bachchan、I died doing what I wanted to do.。I'm jealous.''、I think I respect you.。
