Enjoy "pen sketches"

Composition with five human stands

The enjoyment of drawing varies from person to person.。If so、There are many different ways to enjoy it.。As announced the other day、"The 11th Blue Seagull Society Painting Exhibition" has just ended.。with the people who came to see me、Being able to share your work at the venue、This is one of the most enjoyable things for presenters.。``That's a nice picture'' ``It makes me feel better''、Please give a word of praise to the author for his hard work.、please。Really everyone、Physical strength/spirit、You're doing it at the last minute.。

suddenly、When we turn our attention to the “world”、not announced anywhere、Don't show it to anyone、Some people expand their world to the world of imagination alone.、There aren't many, but there seems to be a certain number.。French writer Balzac's "unknown masterpiece"、This is a novel about such a person.、Most recently, he has become internationally famous as an outsider writer.、Henry Darger seems to be such a person (he has already been introduced on this blog).。
Even though Darger was “highly intelligent”、In "Crazy"、Forced to live at the economic bottom of America as a silent "cleaner"、Without showing it to anyone, he wrote an epic story of war between an innocent girl and the values ​​of God called ``In an Unreal Kingdom'' that ran over 15,000 pages.、300Leave behind numerous illustrations of various sizes.、He died in a very poor apartment, uncared for.。after death、Through the activities of the landlord who discovered the value of his belongings, etc.、Gradually became known around the world。The work is at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.、Stored in the Musée Ville de Paris, etc.、Now known worldwide as the author of "The Outsider"。

I have a lot to talk about、I was blown away by the outsider! recently、I have already reported that pen sketching has become fun again.、The sketch above is also in that vein.。Of course, I am also excited to see and draw concrete objects.、These ideas and sketches are also puzzle-like and fun.。And、For me (although I don't realize it)Feels different from a pencil、That tooIt is the basis of the enjoyment of pens.I feel like。
these areThis is not an e-skis for any exhibited works.。There is a possibility that I might turn it into a work someday.、Right now I'm just sketching for fun.。I'm just killing time.、The problem seems to be that I have so much fun that I end up putting off work.。

11th Blue Seagull Painting Exhibition、It's finished

Today (4/13) 16:00 At、It closed successfully。Everyone in attendance、thank you。Dear members、thank you for your hard work。from the heart、Thank you very much。

I think it was a good exhibition.。However、That's my impression from the inside.。each person、Creating a single form by somehow overcoming production problems and lack of technology。Even if it seems like you're repeating the same thing、You may not be able to do the same thing physically.、I have to solve it somehow。A painting increases in depth by repeating this process.。In that sense、I think it was a good exhibition, with individuality coming out little by little each time.。

on the other hand、If you look at it from the outside, it will look completely different.。In a sense, such "depth" may fall into the category of "self-satisfaction" (although that is fine).。Painting is, first and foremost, a visual art.、more visually interesting、Unique attempts are a big attraction.。It's a beautiful and calm venue.、The reason why there are so few young people is because they don't radiate that kind of energy.、It would also mean that。

The aging of the members、In a sense, this is also the trend in Japan as a whole.、I want to go against that trend by painting.。Even if your body changes with age、I want my brain = mind to be as young as possible.。power for that、Consider drawing as a methodology。To do this, look at pictures of young people as much as possible (become able to use the internet! Just doing that will make you look a little younger!)、The concrete method is to try to imitate it to the extent possible.。That should make the venue more lively.。Let's destroy your picture a little。that's the next step。

Cherry blossom spots

一昨日から青いカモメの会・絵画展が始まったことはすでにお伝えしましたこのスケッチはその前日天気が良かったので気分転換を兼ねて自転車で近くの花見に行ってきました毎年必ずNHKで報道されるいわゆる「桜の名所」でそのための車の渋滞も激しくもしも近くでなかったらわざわざ行く気にはなりません

わたしは毎年この時季にここを取材しています桜などはもう見飽きてるので「桜を見に来る人をスケッチする」のです今年は外国人とくに中国系の言語が至る所で聞こえました会話が聞こえるということは「一人旅ではない」ってこと見ると子ども連れ(それもまだ歩けない赤ちゃんなど)も少なくないそれに若夫婦のどちらかの両親らしき人などが加わる感じ

ひと頃のような「いかにも観光」感だけではなくどことなく「日本在住」感が漂っていますそれと海外にいる両親知人などという組み合わせか日本は安全に金がかからないし海外に比べると物価も安いから人を呼びやすいんだなあなどと想像する日本人のカップルも焼きそばなど片手に持ちながら時どき思い出したように桜を見ていましたテレビで紹介されたところに自分たちもいる―共有できた―というのがいいんでしょうか海外旅行者のリッチぶりに比べるとなんだか肌寒い気がしました
