2009年頃に大学で描いた2－3時間のクイック油彩画。
時間をかけてゆっくりと写実的に描いていたのから脱出。
まだ乾かない絵具の上から、どんどんと厚い絵具をさらに重ねて描いていきます。
この時初めて、今までになかった満足感というかオーガズムにも似た様な感覚に襲われたのを覚えています。日本人はどちらかというと自分の感情や理性を抑制しながら、社会に溶け込もうとします。その反動が一気に放出されたかのような感覚でした。
この年、
初めてニューヨークに行きアブストラクト・エクスプレッショニズムの絵を間近で見ました。そして、自分もアブストラクトへ方面へも枝を伸ばしていくことになりました。
Those were done in around 2009.
For the longest time, I painted more realistically, spending a long time to articulate details and to wait for the paint to dry before putting another layer. However, all those paintings above were done within 2-3 hours. I had never tried painting on wet paint before, but I felt so compelled and fulfilled.
Painting more freely and expressively in a short time was a complete opposite from the characteristic of my typical painting style. However, I felt those painting more honest. I believe that is why I felt enlightened.
In that year, I was lucky enough to have one of my pieces exhibited in NYC, and it gave me an excuse to visit there for the first time. Moreover, that was where I saw the Abstract Expressionism paintings in person. After that, I was never the same. This was where I started to branch out my art to abstract.
I love working on both realistic and abstract. It balances me out. I guess that is just being a human.
