I've started to paint with the pigment made from fired sand from the River Thames in UK, after a long preparation since I collected them last year. It's my first painting 2016….....still soaked. It will take one day to get dry the surface. Then the color of the each sand turns whitish as if it borns again modesty. While the surface is wet it looks bright and vivacious. I like it as well.
Art Basel 2015 に先月参加してきました。 東京のギャラリー小柳さんがから作品を展示していただいて、今年で5年目です。 画像の作品も含めて、今回送っていただいた7枚の作品は、会期の前半で全て行き先が決まりました。 淡い色の私の作品に気づいて丁寧に眺めてくださった方々に感謝いたします。
I participated Art Basel 2015 in Switzerland on June. This year will be the 5th year since Gallery Kpyanagi sent my paintings to Art Basel. The 7 paintings including the one in the images, were all in demand in the first half of team of the fare.
I really grateful to the viewers who found and gazed on my painting with a soft and pale shade of color even though it is a busy site.
Some of the paintings were titled ' Ibo River', which runs my home town in west part of Japan. The grayish parts on my works were painted with the fired sand from the River Ibo.
