Let's start something new

「 Apple 2020」  2020 Tempera,Aqyla on canvas

"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.。

ah、September

"Apple-3colors" (unfinished) 2020

"Ah May" "Ah、I remember seeing a poem or song called "Satsuki" somewhere.、It is the beauty of the weather in May (Satsuki).、I remember that it was an ode to the cheerful emotions that overlapped with that.。

"ah、"September" is "Oh、It’s already September (and it’s almost halfway through)” (And yet、(not doing anything)、“Ah” of self-blame.。ah。Because of Corona、Because of the heat、It's because the neighbor's dog is noisy.。

Every time I move forward with what I have to do,、I feel like my heart is shrinking one millimeter at a time。Even though the lifespan of a candle is definitely getting shorter、The neighbor's dog is barking again.。what the hell、Why is that dog barking so much?、Are all the people next door deaf?、Or maybe he's just barking at me while wearing earplugs?。And、After all, it’s September!、Is it this fucking hot?。to my house、Is someone secretly blowing hot air to harass them?。

I'm sure I'm not the only "sloth"、maybe。I'm sure there are others like me.。Are you bothered by the sounds of your neighbor's dog, cat, owl, or earthworm?、I'm sure there are some people who can't do anything.。Apparently, the questioner thinks that "the concrete result of sketching" brings fun.、I don't see people like that。At my house、Even though everyone was lying on the floor like corpses.、The people I see from the window are in this heat、Walk quickly at the same speed as usual、always seems to be doing some kind of work。And it's cool。something、It's also a special drink、Am I the only one who doesn't know that?。ah、bitter moon。October is just around the corner。My heart is shrinking rapidly。Nevertheless、For some reason my body refuses to go to work.。

"Falled leaves" and "dead leaves"

fallen leaves。In the evening, you can hear the sounds of insects

It's hot every day。There are some points in western Japan today where the temperature exceeds 38 degrees.、Temperatures of over 35° were recorded in the Kanto region.。September starts tomorrow、In recent years, this heat at this time of year is、I feel like it's not so rare anymore。Still、About a week ago、I started hearing the crickets.。It's autumn、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。

The trees and grass in the garden are parched and dry.。They say it's been a long time since there's been a thunderstorm since the afternoon.、I looked at the sky in anticipation, but all I saw was the atmosphere (after dark、 10It rained for about a minute)。Still, a cool breeze was blowing、at nightfall、I took a short walk around the neighborhood by bicycle.。

Withered leaves are already falling and piling up on the streets of the park.。Maybe it's because of the sunshine、It looks like it's already autumn in my eyes。Suddenly、I thought about the difference between "fallen leaves" and "dead leaves"。

Some leaves wither while still attached to the branches.。Diseased leaves (Wakuraba)、Kuchiba corresponds to this.。On the contrary、Being beaten by the wind and rain, etc.、Some leaves remain green and fall、in deciduous trees、Plants shed their leaves as part of their own physiology.。In haiku、Fallen leaves and dead leaves both seem to be seasonal words for winter.、Fallen leaves seem to be used more often.。If the persimmon leaves fall, it's called "fallen persimmon leaves"、If the leaves of the shiitake fall, it is called "fallen shiiba".。I don't call it persimmon dead leaves or shiiba dead leaves.。In the latter、It's strange because it feels like the tree itself is sick.。
