image and brain

「 Apple 」  2020  F4

It looks like a pumpkin、I think so myself。another、The elongated "Apple" was introduced as a "green pepper"。I'm sure this will be called "pumpkin"。

Some people go out of their way to translate it as "ringo" (?)。Oh dear、Pumpkin or peppers, either is fine.、Let's do that。But、"Ringo" is currently、I have some resistance。How to pronounce "apple" to English-speaking people、It doesn't matter, since you probably won't be able to understand it if you just listen to the sound.、In Japanese, "apple"、Maybe it's because I think the image is inseparable from the "real thing"。In other words, Apple is strictly a ``title for Japanese people.''。

The theme is "Line"、noodle、"Color"、 Apple is just a device to evoke images (symbols)。Kandinsky called it ``point, line, and surface.''、There is a book that is considered the starting point of modern art.。The physical components of a painting are、This is certainly the only option、There are various ways of thinking、Let's not go into depth for now.。However、The moment it was presented as a "painting"、They all flip together and become something new、It creates a spark between you and the viewer、I think it's a kind of "creation (action)"、Let's just say。

It seems logical, but、What it means to draw a picture、It's not just a conditioned reflex or mechanical repetition like a camera.、Although there are differences in degree、Everyone should draw with some logic.。The old saying "Don't draw with logic"? Kokoro、That would be a wonderful paradox。whatever、``Creation'' that does not stimulate the ``brain'' in any way、This is because it is impossible in every sense of the word.。

What we think at Apple

「 Apple 」 2020 P50 tempera, Arcid on canvas

One of the works exhibited at "Blue Seagull Exhibition"。The photo seems to have been taken a little before the time it was put up for sale.。Beginning of the center part、It looks like the details are still being drawn in.。Looks like I forgot to take a photo。

"How did you come to draw pictures like this?"、often asked。The person asking the question also has the feeling that ``the previous picture was better.''、It seems that there are some people who think, ``I don't understand what's so interesting about drawing pictures like this.''。I would like to say that both are "boring".、I'm sure you said it in a thoughtful way.。thank you。

Either way、I can't answer in one word, but、For the former, I said, ``I can't help it.''。I have no choice but to say, ``I don't have enough strength.''、Regarding the latter, he said, ``I would rather not understand.''、The answer was, ``Just look at it as it is.''、I have it ready for now。surely、It's fun for me too、I'm not having fun drawing it.、It can't be helped that it doesn't look like that。this is、Because it's a "problem work" for me.、I am drawing while enduring some degree of pain.。

What kind of problem is it?、Balancing ``creating works that consist only of figurative elements'' and ``incorporating thought and emotion''。“What?、Isn't that what all paintings do?''、That's exactly right。However、to myself、I can't seem to do both at the same time.。my weaker one、The result of putting effort into "modeling" which can be improved depending on study is、Speaking of its current form,、It may be easier to convince。

Apple-Blue

「 Apple – Blue 」 2020

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)...。
