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.。

Taconomakura

"Takonomakura" pen

What is "Takonomakura"? A type of sea urchin (although it doesn't seem to be poisonous)、almost inedible)、It has an almost flat shape with a slightly higher center.。The flower-like thing in the center was not drawn by me.、When you remove the thorns, it looks like this。It's strange how it looks like it was painted.。The black circle in the middle、Part of the shell is missing and has a hole。

When you're alive、Since it is a sea urchin, it is covered with spines.。The length of the spine is about 5 mm。It's rare to see one alive、Many are found washed up on sandy beaches.。this is what i picked up、I think it makes sense to be called Takonomakura.、It's a flexible naming idea.。I picked it up because it seemed to appeal to me for some reason.、Even after at least 10 years、Not yet pictured。At this rate、I feel like I'm going to go to the afterlife with this as my pillow.。

I went to the prefectural exhibition

“Like a Seagull (Icarus)” Tempera

I went to see the ``Saitama Prefecture Exhibition'' at the Museum of Modern Art in Kita Urawa.。Are you busy? I can't afford to go、Must see at least once。Considering the date, today was the only day.。My back hurt and I didn't want to go out.、I didn't like it because it was Buddha's extinction on the calendar, but、I was lucky that I didn't get caught in the rain.。

I thought about a lot of things while watching it.。first、Isn't the quality of the drawings declining?、I also felt。The barriers have been lowered and it has become easier to get selected.、whether there is a relationship。As sellers age in proportion to demographic trends, are their ideas becoming flat and outdated?。99I know that older sellers are working hard.、I think that's admirable though.、in the sense of exciting、Only the high school students' drawings looked interesting.。middle-aged and elderly、Let's try a little harder without giving up!

The Shunkai Exhibition begins

Shinshunkai ’25 Exhibition Hall (2025.06.10)
Yuka Saito "Cat's Meat" Aluminum Casting

Shinshunkai exhibition has begun。This year Hoshino、Mr. Segawa withdrew from membership due to poor health.、Also、Chiyoko Takahashi passed away.。It will be an exhibition with a touch of loneliness.。I humbly pray for Mr. Takahashi's soul to rest in peace.。

Instead、The energetic sculptor Yuka Saito has joined us as a new member.。I'm so happy。This year marks the 38th year of the Chenchunkai Exhibition.。At first, the exhibition was started with the idea that ``all you have to do is hold it five times'' and it was well-received.、(All the members were young, too) I feel like we rushed through to the 20th episode just by having momentum.。20beyond the times、When I finally reached the stage where I was thinking about what to do next,、It’s almost 20 years again。It goes by so quickly。Generational change may also need to be sped up even more.。

After the display ended, the main topic of discussion among members was health and illness, such as back pain.。Almost all of you are at an age where you or someone in your family has such problems.。Of course I'm no exception.。It is only when we are alive that these things are reflected in our works.。That's probably the difference between works made with AI.。Please everyone、Please see the actual work。
