Maybe I should draw anything

I drew a snack

Searching for “things that make pictures”、It becomes a classic idea。A modern composition just for you、Even if I am satisfied with the composition of the picture,、If you take a step back、I have many dreams in which that feeling has become hopelessly fossilized.。

After drinking alcohol、I drew a snack。modern things、For example, stainless steel or translucent plastic.、Some things that “don’t look like pictures”、It's quite interesting if you try drawing it.、It's meaningful enough for technical practice.。something is called a painting、something is called a sketch、How do you distinguish something from an illustration?、Each person has a habit of thinking differently、It's all about me。

I was worried about how I could make a picture.、Similarly in the classroom、It's bothered everyone, even the people who don't care about it.。Say things like, ``Let's draw a picture that's uniquely yours.''、Background for that、I have been teaching things like composition and how to think.、In reality, that may have caused me to fall into traditional ways of thinking.。

What I saw、Whether it becomes a picture or not、Draw at random。You can look up anything now if you need to.。Just keep drawing everything。No need to worry、Maybe there was no need to worry。By now、I have no choice but to laugh though。

lonely whistle

This is the Ken-O Expressway。-Is that your hope? Or? Are you walking?

why do people sing。I myself sometimes sing casually when no one is around (for example, while driving).。For some reason, when I'm in a crowd of people、regardless of the place、Sometimes I sing in my heart without saying it out loud。Sometimes there seems to be a reason, and sometimes there isn't.、In the end, it just depends on your mood at the time.。And、That I don't know the right song for my mood at that moment.、Sometimes I feel sorry。

I feel that young people listen to a lot of music.。In a sense, music supports their daily lives.、Maybe it's because I'm encouraging。music is also their voice。As the House of Representatives elections are near,、I tried to expand my imagination a little bit about songs and words.。

The distance between words and songs、quite close in terms of literary history。In the first place, if you add rhythm and scale to words, it becomes a song.。so、If you look closely at the lyrics、From ancient times to modern times, it is often a political message.。For example, the Beatles' "Imagine"。The message is so strong that it would be strange to say that it does not feel political.。Singing is close to politics - although I think politics should be logical.、The word "politics" (in Japan) was intentionally derived from that.、It seems like you are trying to go far away from both logic and sense.。Ordinary? In other words, ``Catchphrase Only'' is ``Winning-Oriented''。In other words, it's "advertisement"。Politics has become a billboard itself.。―Politics is a form of art such as music and art.、It's even more so because he despises academics.。

The only "culture" that politicians like to talk about is sports.。During the “Tokyo Olympics 2020 (actually 2021)” period、A certain Prime Minister went out of his way to invite reporters to his official residence.、He repeated the performance of calling the gold medalist to congratulate him.。Many Japanese people saw this、It's like exposing your crotch in public without any sense of shame.、いわば21世紀の日本がまだサル（猿）の社会のままであるかのような精神的屈辱を味わわされたのではないだろうか。at least i、ニュース画像中の得々とした彼の顔に、サル（猿）のマスクを重ねないでは正視出来なかった。新首相はまだマシかと一瞬思ったが、もう忘れかけていた「アベノマスク」の「生地の新調」に過ぎなかったので、やはり「アベスガサル芝居・第二幕」の幕開けだったのか、と腑に落ちた。

人はなぜ歌うのか。それは人はなぜ絵を描くのか、人はなぜ学問をするのか、と同じ問いだ。世界がどうあれ、日本の政治がどうあれ、わたしたちは若い人も、老人も、とりあえずは「明日も明後日もあるものとして」生きていく。I don't know about tomorrow、But、明後日のことなら歌ってみたい。―――歌は自ずから・・・と書きかけたが、せめて明後日のために―寂しい口笛になってしまった。

The end of the exhibition and the end of the art exhibition

Venue scenery

The group exhibition “Living in the Landscape VIII” at Galerie Shimon in Ginza ended on the 16th.。Under Corona、Thank you to everyone who took the trouble to come.。Take the trouble to call me、Those who sent postcards etc.、thank you。

During the exhibition period、Niki Exhibition at the National Art Center, Tokyo in Roppongi、Independent exhibitions and solo exhibitions introduced in the previous article, etc.、some solo exhibitions、I also visited group exhibitions.。Everyone is trying their best。Huge amount of energy poured into it、amount of material、funds。and many sacrifices of all kinds。And the small amount of self-satisfaction that I get、like a blessing、Private admiration with almost no social skills。Is there a more appropriate word than “healthy”?。

“In my personal art history,、"The history of art has already ended," he wrote long ago.。I confirmed that again。This does not mean that everyone will stop drawing.。On the contrary, in 10 years it will be easier to draw.、I think everyone draws to kill time.。It's finished、``I have nothing more to add,'' that is.、In terms of art history, it means that we have reached the end of the book.、(at least in the modern Japanese style) art exhibition format。

At the very least, contemporary Japanese art exhibitions require personal sacrifice (rather than burden).、It's so big that I dare to call it a "sacrifice."。Japan's unique group exhibition system、It is a methodology to reduce the amount of sacrifice by dividing it by the number of people.、There are also art tenement houses where artists live by licking each other's wounds.。Artists can freely create what they want、Too far from the ideal of freely publishing。Be prepared to deviate from society by becoming a writer、You need to be prepared to commit social suicide.、It is no exaggeration to say that。Even the family is involved、I only look at people who were lucky enough to become popular writers.、It is an anachronism to think that sacrificial spirit is cool.、It is consistent with the climate of similar social oppression (for example, the social status of women) that imposes this。

Now we have the internet。The delusion that the Internet will solve these problems all at once is、Even though I admit to being a delusional person, I don't think so.、I already have the power to alleviate at least some of that.。The rigors of creation (effort) and physical、should not be confused with social sacrifice。The rigor of creation、This is because I think that I can only overcome it from a place where I can be liberated.。
