2020 “景色をすくう”

　切ない所にいつもある記憶や経験は、なかなか像を結ばない。 それは死の重さを見せながら、流れていく知覚をとおして、形あるものとそうではないものとの間(あわい)に明滅している。描いていくことは、間(あわい)に向かって明滅するモノをイメージとしてすくい取ることだが、取り出して画面に置くと、何処かに沈んで、偶然や予感とでも言うような途方にくれるくらい曖昧なものにもどる。けれど定位しようがないそれらは画面の中でもそんな風に曖昧なままだが、確実に空間やみる人に共振するように広がり、手応えを感じさせてくれる。　　　　(2020)

scoop up the scenery

　Memories and experiences, which are always in a sad place, do not form an image.
With a sense of the weight of death, they flicker between tangible and intangible things through flowing perception.
　To paint is to scoop up the flickering things that flicker between, but when you put them on the screen, they sink somewhere and return to something vague, like a coincidence or a premonition.
　They remain ambiguous even within the picture, but they certainly expand as if they were resonating with the space and the viewer.

　The beginning of my work is to place them as if they were breathing with the space outside the canvas, without filling the entire picture with unstructured colors. I leave a blank space for the interaction between me and the painting, between the work and the space where it is placed, and between the work and the viewer.
　The color surface, which has been repeatedly dried and heavily colored, breathes in time with the progress of the painting, either distantly covered in white or heavily submerged nearby in deep colors. Furthermore, he draws thin, thin lines as if to wipe out or sing into the enveloping picture. This implies movement and direction on the color surface.
　Also, the hard lines extracted from the digital image give a hint of the original shape, but mostly as fragments of the decomposed image. These lines/shards, coming from completely different places, nestle a little closer to the color surface, or are greatly repelled by it, which spreads the echo in the picture.
