本書は点描技法による作品集です。
1999年から1年半、アジア・ヨーロッパを中心に旅をしていました。各地でスケッチしたものを帰国後じっくり時間をかけて描き直しました。主に建造物を描くことが多いのですが、例えばサグラダファミリアのように現在も建築中のものや、2003年の地震でほぼ全壊してしまい、今では見ることのできなくなってしまったアルゲ・バム遺跡も当時の姿のものです。
点描技法という点の集積で濃淡、陰影や奥行きを表現します。黒のインクだけでなくカラーインクを使うことで表現に幅を持たせることも試みています。
本書は文芸社から出版された「西の空の下」を著者本人がセレクトし直し、更にその後に描いたイスタンブールの風景画も加えたものです。点描技法にこだわり、点描の面白さや凄み、可能性を是非知っていただきたいとの思いから本書を作りました。 ご高覧頂けたら幸いです。
This book is a collection of works drawn in a pointillist style. I traveled around Asia and Europe for 18 months in 1999 and 2000. After returning home from this trip, I spent much time completing these pictures based on the sketches I had drawn in various places I visited.
I usually chose buildings as my motif. Among them are Sagrada Familia, which has long been under construction, and the Arg-e Bam ruins in Iran, which were completely destroyed in the Bam earthquake in 2003. The ruins are no longer there but you can still appreciate them in my picture.
In pointillism, everything, including shades or depth, is expressed only by the differences in the density of the small dots. By using colored ink as well as black ink, I am now attempting to gain a richer sense of expression.
I selected some of the works here from my previous book, “Nishi-no-Sora-no-Moto (Under the Western Sky)” published by Bungeisha, Japan. Then I added 8 new landscape paintings of Istanbul. I am publishing this book because I really love drawing pictures in a pointillist style, and also because I would really love you to find them interesting and powerful and I hope you can realize pointillism’s potential.
I would be pleased if you could find this through my works.
