Nikko・Lake Chuzenji
“Nikko/Lake Chuzenji” Watercolor + Acrylic
Idea sketch Fill the screen with △□

I gave an assignment in the watercolor class.。The autumn leaves are in full bloom now.。Let's draw an autumn landscape、One thing is that。At that time、The second step is to apply color flatly.。Forms that can be used for this purpose、(If possible) The third thing is to consist of only triangles and squares.。We proposed that these three be displayed on one screen at the same time.。

The general purpose of the task is、Steps to abstract thinking。The “flattening (simplification)” of colors and shapes is a stepping stone to such thinking.、Connected with modern painting thinking。

The students in the classroom were simply trying to draw an autumn landscape.、Looks very confused。Like this、 “Pure” Each person individually selects a concrete motif (photo)、And triangular、I was told to draw only squares.。It's like I was suddenly punished for something.、 At first, I made a face like, “I don’t remember it…?”。

Maybe it was a bit of an irresponsible way of asking the question.、Actually, I am now reflecting on this.。Chew it a little more carefully、I should have done it in stages.、I felt rushed。
That's why、I decided to take on the same problem myself.。Colors can be applied in a flat manner (no shading)、Because the matiere (texture) is created using acrylic.、Unintended changes appear on their own (although it seems a bit illegal)。If you try it、As expected, it's difficult (sorry everyone)。But、I'm sure you'll come up with some ideas that will surprise me.。

All you have to do is move your hands

It's 22 degrees today、Summer day? It was so warm that I thought。I didn't have time to walk in the evening、After dark, I walked a little、I was so sweaty that I sometimes had to cool down.。But、The temperature is expected to drop by 8 degrees tomorrow, so be careful.。

Lately, my sketches have been interesting somehow.、Sometimes I draw several pictures a day。easily、Because you can draw without holding up、It feels like a kind of killing time.。And、hand rehabilitation。I can feel the stiffness in my fingers getting stronger little by little every day.、Functionality also declines.。Eyes too、Because the brain is the same、Sketching is advantageous because you can rehabilitate all at once.。30 minutes at most、It won't take an hour at most、No psychological burden、On the contrary, I can continue because I feel liberated.。Rather、I have to worry about getting too addicted to it.。

If you think about it、The time you can do something like this is just a “moment” in your life. 。I want to cherish it and enjoy it。

Is it from a Kirin Beer box?、Fujisawa seems to be making a collage of Kirin prints.

I went to the "Shinsuke Fujisawa Solo Exhibition" being held at Gallery AYUMI in Kagurazaka, Tokyo (11/14-19).。The exhibition is titled ``Colors that start running, shapes that start laughing.''、-Seeing sound through paper cutting and wire art- is the subtitle.。color、A concept where shapes are connected by “sound”。

What I really feel while looking at the work is、Although techniques can be imitated to some extent with practice.、Sense cannot do that.、This person is building his "own" snowboard "road"。Cut paper painted with watercolors、Layer boldly on top of those already pasted.。Even if it's just that in words、No one can make the same (impression) (though that's not a minor thing at all)。

Why can't it be done?、This is because Mr. Fujisawa's life (everything) overlaps with that.。- Stops where the tip of the cutter knife is.、bend、cut off。I have no choice but to intuitively decide where to paste it.、It can't be a coincidence。
Even if it's just a single wire、Prior to his experience as a sculptor、An eye for selecting materials that is integrated with one's own physical reactions.、At the same time as the form。I feel the softness of the artist's sensitivity in being able to be honest with such sensations (five senses).。Every time I see Fujisawa's solo exhibition,、I'm always shocked by his honesty。And、I regret that many people still don't know about it.。
