Chestnut and grape water droplets

Today is Ueno、Nogizaka and、4I rushed around two big exhibitions (tired)。Isuikai, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Art、The National Museum of Arts' Action Exhibition、New production exhibition、And the special exhibition, Tanaami Keiichi Exhibition。I was supposed to introduce the Tanaami Keiichi exhibition today.、Although the photos were taken at the venue,、It's a shame that I can't transfer for some reason (probably the poor compatibility between iPhone and Microsoft is back).。

Mr. Tanaami is a painter、He is an art producer、... and...、A multi-purpose artist。Art magazines and、Stylish ads、He has been extremely active in magazines and other media.、Yes, young people may not know、Many people say, "Yeah、He's the person who drew that?'' and has seen it at least once.。

There are only a few jobs that a person can do。If one is a genius to easily overcome that "limit"、He is definitely a genius。Similar to Picasso。I actually love Picasso、I got a picture of Picasso-style (although I'm sure I'll get scolded if I say that)、I drew so many of these。Rather than not worrying about being told that it's imitation、Picasso's love too much、Become Picasso、I'll draw more Picasso-style pictures than Picasso、That's how powerful it is。Moreover,、That's part of his hobby。

In modern times, a company is essential to working in society。Most of his work、It is a collaboration with the company。The company gives him the power to bring out his power to the fullest.。Not just the economy、The company (organization) has been shown to the fullest extent of the power that society possesses.。Personal power, etc.、Even if that's the origin、Something that has been known about the impact on society。
Yishuihui、Action Exhibition、New production exhibitions, etc.、Everywhere there are talented people、Competing for ideas and techniques、It has a certain presence、Unfortunately, even if it becomes a bundle, we cannot beat the company.。So it's useless、That's not the case at all。

Go to Kunio Matsumoto's solo exhibition

The exhibition hall is spacious
Matsumoto's unique image of a woman

Today is the harvest moon。It was a good month。While looking up at the full moon、yesterday、I was glad that I went to Kunio Matsumoto's solo exhibition.。I was able to have a leisurely chat with Masato Yoshioka, who was holding a solo exhibition at the same gallery at a different venue.、Above all, Matsumoto-san's drawings were amazing.、I ended up staying too long。

Located in Kunitachi City、“Court Gallery Kunitachi” September 12th to 24th。Exit the south exit of Kunitachi Station and go to the right (toward Tachikawa) on the road immediately before reaching 2.,3It's a minute。If you want to see it, please see it as soon as possible.。Matsumoto、Mr. Yoshioka and Mr. Yoshioka are both members of Nikikai, a publicly recruiting organization.。Actually, I used to belong to this group as well.、Thank you both for your help.。

But、I always view works without having to relate to that kind of relationship.。Matsumoto's works don't change much in motif or subject matter.、in the last few years、For some reason, it's become more and more attractive.、I feel that。Thinking about what has changed、I wonder if the themes and how they are handled have become simpler.、I think。
Anyone can be a painter、I want to draw something like this、This is the only thing I have a strong desire to draw.。That is the driving force behind my continued drawing.、From the perspective of painting = visual art、That obsession may impede visibility (visibility?)、It often happens。That commitment、An artist's style is the way they fit into the theory of visual perception.、If I can't create that, I will continue to have a hard time creating as an artist.。

Matsumoto didn't show any signs of being in pain.、I think I overcame that dilemma.。But、That doesn't mean it's been an easy road。He has been working on this very seriously.、and 3,40It took years、I finally got through it、i feel。There were long days of hardship.。Always with a face that looks like a forever young man、And always caring about people、Don't rely on others, don't bend yourself、I think I have finally established my own world.。I think he's an amazing person、I thought again。
Today's mid-autumn harvest moon was a beautiful moon.。It seemed like his solo exhibition was over.。

draw water droplets

Waterdrops on grapes (watercolor, in progress)

I drew a Muscat the other day。I thought it would be easy because it was a single color, but I was naive.。I was sure that I was well aware that ``the simpler things seem, the more difficult they are.''、I just looked at it lightly。This sketch takes advantage of that reflection.、The theme was "water drops"。

The simpler things are, the more difficult they are.、For example, drawing a potato、It's more difficult than drawing a mandarin orange.、Drawing a tangerine is more difficult than drawing a chestnut.。There aren't many people who can't tell the difference between a potato and a mud pot.、It is extremely difficult to depict something in a way that makes it recognizable the moment you see it.。Mandarin oranges are not just yellow circles.。Common whelks on the seashore、Compared to turban shells, which have complex spines.、It has no characteristics、It's difficult。

It's not just a picture。For example, a novel、It's better to draw a very ordinary person around that area.、I often hear that it is more difficult than writing biographies of great people.。I imagine that it would be difficult to turn street noise into music in that sense.。

Back to the topic、A picture is not something that can be understood simply by looking at it.。It doesn't necessarily have to be drawn accurately.。It's not just about being good at it.。A good painting is one that ignites something in the heart of the viewer.、I think。From draft to completion、The author does not know at what stage the ``ignition'' occurs.。The sketch is the best、Some pictures get worse the more you draw them、Actually there are many。This picture is also here、Which stage is best?、And、Can you stop it yourself?。That area、It's the difference between whether you have the ability or not.。
