unnecessary things are not unnecessary

17From a blog from a year ago

17Years ago, it was a blog (at that time it was called a homepage)。2Generation homepage。I wrote this on my current blog ``Aoi Kamome'' (which is the third generation).。nostalgic。And even now, that feeling hasn't changed.。

I started writing my blog in a sketchbook.、I scanned it and uploaded it。Writing a blog before going to bed was sometimes a pain, but it was fun.。2The second generation started drawing many things on the computer.。The current blog is the third generation.。

my computer teacher、My son has been with me since he was in kindergarten.。When you can't read hiragana yet、”press any key ” I was surprised when he told me, ``This means you just need to press any key.''。While touching the computer、I guess it was a combination of letters and operations.、I was surprised by his great insight.。After I taught him Romaji, he started typing in Romaji in no time.。

Blogs like this with a handmade feel are great.、I think again。For example, text and pictures are certainly "information", but、Handwritten letters are full of "unnecessary information"。unnecessary、For example, in the sense of conveying meaning, the hardness and softness of letters and subtle blurring may be unnecessary elements.。However, from the perspective of "○○'s character"、Not only is it unnecessary、it could even be the essence。Some people say that "journey" and "travel" are different.。The shorter the time to the destination, the better.、It's sad that values ​​become so exclusive.。The origin of drawing is surely there.。

I tried arranging the idea from issue 100 into a small piece.、As expected, the parts that are simply made smaller are too small.。In small pieces and large works、The sense of distance when facing the work is completely different.。What you see will be different if the distance is different。Even if the motif is the same、The message must be appropriate for the size (distance)、What can be conveyed no longer gets conveyed。

I went to Norihisa Saito's solo exhibition.。On the island of Arran in Ireland、I've been going here for over 30 years。He wants to create a painting that captures the time that has become ingrained in the island itself.。look at his picture、A painter is a historian、a climate historian、is a geologist、a geopolitician、a climatologist、is a pessimist、I think I'm also an optimist.。And on top of that, “an expert who handles paints.”。

I went to see the ``Picasso and His Times'' exhibition at the Western Art Museum in Ueno today.。There were more works by Paul Klee than I expected.。Because there were many small works,、There were many works that I had never seen before.。Unlike a masterpiece for presentation、In short, small items are for business use.、for training、Also for research purposes。There is a writer、A different side to that expressed in the masterpiece appears.。Looking at the small items、I felt Picasso's "unexpected" delicacy (seriousness)。

but、whatever、I feel that it is difficult to draw pictures these days.。innocently、Calmly、We live in a time when we can't enjoy painting.。In media terminology, it is easy to say things like ``timeless.''、There's no way a living person could do that.。by chance、innocently、Calmly、When I had fun drawing、Like being snatched away by a time machine、I think it's possible that it could end up being exceeded.。

とりあえず終了。"Apple-Rural"

Apple-Rural(tempera:Finished for now)

It has the same title and direction as "Apple-Paradise" which was exhibited at the group exhibition, Chenshunkai Exhibition in June this year.。I feel like it's a little more advanced than the previous work.。

The aim is to create a form-oriented work: 1. Clear images (avoid blurring or suggestive expressions as much as possible) 2. Deepening the diversity of "lines and surfaces" 3. Balance with colors as highly saturated as possible。Although some discoveries were made、Leave the parts where you can't find a solution as is.。

10/17(moon)This is a work scheduled to be exhibited at "Living in the Climate - IX Exhibition" to be held at Galerie Shimon in Ginza.。8It was supposed to be finished by the end of the month、I lost almost an entire month due to back pain.。I thought I could somehow make up for it if I played enough S-Keith during that time.、My energy is weakening、September arrived without being able to pack enough.。

bad thing in between、This time I made it with a panel。much heavier than canvas。First, base coat、The work of laying it horizontally on the floor with undercoat brings out the back pain that was about to heal again.。During production, the work is turned upside down and horizontally many times.、I get worried every time。Still ok、I'm glad that we were able to finish it in about a month as planned.、9Exhibitions during the month、I apologized for almost all the solo exhibitions.。In addition, I will be exhibiting one small item.。
