Blue seagull

Even though I was invited to hold a solo exhibition every year, I continued to feel unreasonable.、Fujisawa's solo exhibition in Shimokitazawa、I was able to go there for the first time in several years.。For me, Mr. Fujisawa is ``a person above the clouds.''。It's almost 50 years since I first set foot in the art world.。I guess I'm a little good at it、I'm not surprised at all that it's unique and that people are praising it.、I don't feel jealous。But、his sense of freedom、It looks like I can reach it, but I can't reach it.、I feel like I can grab it, but I can't.、It is truly a high existence like a cloud.。

"Dependents of the Forest"。A park?、A broken twig that could probably be found in someone's garden.、talking about one world。rather than、Mr. Fujisawa、Breathe new life into these people who are on the verge of disappearing.、It seems to me that we have created a stage to talk about.。To him like that、Twigs are very easy-going、speak to。-If you write it like that, you'll say, ``Oh.、That's the world."、There will always be someone who pretends to know。But his short sword、They are skilled enough to reveal their noses.。Was it Sei Shonagon?、It is said that "a knife that is too sharp" is not good.、his knife is、Do not cut to the point where it breaks naturally.。I hate my heart、It's a sense that knows how to restrain itself.。

Another thing that impressed me was、“(Semi-transparent) cut paper (carelessly) pasted” on the window (bottom photo)。I am Kotaro Takamura's wife、I am in awe of Chieko's paper cutting.、Despite showing such brilliance (technically more than that)、They will probably be seen as ``off display'' to most visitors.。"Those who understand will understand," he says.、author's silence、Actually, it's not "random" at all.、I guess it's a challenge。Paper-cutting (I dare not call it paper-cutting) like the ones you see in videos such as ``Fujin Raijin'', ``Chōjū Giga'', and ``Monkey and Crab Gassen''、Maybe that's his true strength.。Please look carefully。

According to what I secretly asked his wife (this was the first time we met)、最初は水彩画だけでやりたかったとか。In that sense、今回は余分なところにばかり眼を惹かれてしまったが、まだ青年のような彼のことだから、いずれ瞠目すべき水彩画が描かれるに違いない。

Gallery HANA　galleryhana2006@gmail.com　（11月10日まで）

「風土に生きるⅦ」展が11月7日(土)まで銀座、ギャラリー風で開催中。コロナの渦中ですが、元気な人は見に来てください。

いろんな意味で、今年はひとつのターニングポイント、だと感じています。作品的にはここ数年、線・面・色彩などの造形要素を明確にする意識で制作してきましたが、それだけを純化・追及するという方向性はもともと持っていないので、このあたりがひとつの成果かも知れません。

「追及」という姿勢自体がひとつの「抑制」でもあります。ひとつの方向性以外のものをできるだけそぎ落として、その結果をストイックに積み重ねていくという方法をとらざるをえないからです。

今後は、枝分かれ的に追及してきたいいくつかの方向性を再び統合していきたいと、I'm thinking。そんなことは、実は30年前に既に無意識的にやっていたことですが、それを「意識的」に再構成しようというわけです。「総合的」ということは何でもありということにつながり、質的にどんどん甘くなる危険性をも孕んでいます。その辺をどうやって律していくのか、自分の中の美学？が問われるところです。どうなるでしょうか。
