LIFE between ART

Space

In a museum or gallery I intend to focused on a way of showing. From that point Saatchi gallery is really nice I think.

I found the lighting is different in each room. (I think it normal thing because I found it in an other gallery too.)
They use enough space to each work. Any works have suitable space. In my opinion it is so important  because space is art work as well. Especially for 3D.

I am not sure if my photos can show the atmosphere or not.

MY FAVORITE ARTIST IS VAN GOGH!!!!!

"Who is your favorite artist?" or "What artist influenced you the most?"People ask me  quite often.
My answer is always same. "My favorite artist is Gogh."

But almost everyone is not satisfied with my answer.
I think  because he is already die.   ???

I would like to say I do research regularly.  But still Gogh is the best for me.

But I can find many nice artists in the world.
William Kentridge is one of them.

Aquatinto,dry point .... I would love to try these kind of techniques. Really nice way to use my drawing line to the full.

When I started the course, I thought I will go to Fine Art  definitely.

I have studied Fine art at High school and University in Japan.My major was Oil painting.

But after Fashion and Textile rotation I found that I can develop my work in this course as well.

Fashion and Textile is very different from Oil painting .But I am interested in this gap.

I have never thought that my drawing can be textile but one of tutor said my drawing is good for textile.

It is so new idea for me.And actually I really want to try it.

I am going to write about what I have done and some feedback that I have got in each rotation one by one.

My first rotation was Fashion and Textile.I did not think it is interesting for me.But It was.

At first I did a lot of drawing with different material and technique.

It was really good for first lesson.Sometime I think I have to draw beautifully or correctly.

But we do not have to.I think the aim of this lesson was free from this kind of thinking.

I did not know about textile before but it really interesting for me.

Even I did not do so much about textile in this time.Because textile is 2D but it relates to 3D so much.

So as I wrote at first. I want to see how my drawing will change when it goes on a fabric.

2nd rotation was Fine art.

The project  was free.I  could choose objects that I am interested. Also I could choose material to create final piece. 2D,3D animation whatever.

But 'free' is the most difficult. I have to have clear vision and my own idea. The project was an important step in helping me to understand how to research and develop my idea. Tutors gave me a many tips for that.

To do this project I needed a found object. I took a lot of photo,did drawing where I found something interesting.

Actually when I tried to find interesting object I could find it in everywhere.I realised everything can be super nice object just depend on pint of view.

I chose adapters and cords as objects. They are not special.I see them everyday everywhere and I have never paid attention to them.

But I found that they are beautiful.I focused on lines and painted them as final piece.

3rd rotation was Vis com,it was the hardest one for me to deal with,but I learned a lot from Vis com week.

Research was really important and helpful.I found many nice works and ideas.

Especially Nina Katchdorian  influenced me.

Her idea is not  just a unique.I could feel her strong message.Showing way was considered a lot.

I painted a picture in this rotation. It was not so successful but I could feel my works has changed a bit in a good way.

I had to settle on a clear message.I found it is challenging but a really important thing for me.

Because usually I tend to depend on feeling and an accident.If I paint like that for ever I will be not able to develop my work any more.

And final rotation was 3D spatial.

At first I really enjoyed it.I did a drawing as other rotation but from different view point.

Focused on Boundary, line, edge, contour, junction, levels, connection and more.

When I had focused on these things my drawing become little bit different style.

 It was interesting.

Our main project was making three 3D models.At first I did some research because I did not have any knowledge about a module.But after research,I was fascinated with some artists.

Richard Long is one of them. His works have a strong impact. He uses natural material but I felt a sense of incongruity. It was beautiful and little scary.Photograph shows it really well.

I needed idea for this project. Because this was about a structure to walk through but not a building,a structure to support the human body but not a chair and a structure to contain small object but not a box.

So I tried to find some twisted ideas.

This stage was fun for me even it was difficult.I imaged freely on the paper.

But when I started to make real things with real material,it was very very different from that I supposed.

I could not control materials as I wanted. It was quite hard.

I managed to make 3D pieces but actually it is not what I wanted to make.

I learned a hard facts in this rotation.

Now I need to research and practicing more about material to make my ideal works.

I wish if I could choose both of Fine art and Textile.

But I can not.So I am going to choose Fine art as my major area.

I think Fine art is the most flexible area. I can try many things include that using my drawing for 3D and something I really want to try.

I will make use of learning from this term.

GET INSPIRED

The other day I went Frieze art fair after vis com rotation.
It was like a melting pot. I wonder how many artists in the world. Little bit scary.

I focused on way of showing. Because in a vis com rotation I considered about it.
Which way is the best to show.  How can I show it better.

I could find many good example in this art fair.
I tried look every part and when I finished I was exhausted. Kind of fed up with art!
I think it was too big to show artworks for pleasure.

But I want to go there next year too.

vis com

My vis com rotation was hard. But I have learned a lot.In a vis com class I had to do things that I have avoided for long. Like to settle on a exactly clearly message.

I am a person who was studying fine art. I tend to depend on feeling. (It means I was lazy.)
And I was particular about composition or color without message. 

In this rotation I chose message first. And then I was considering how to show it. What material is best for that.

This order was really important. 

But I think this is natural. Even so new for me. 

Why are people painting?  Because they have a some message which they want to deriver to someone. 

I think that is one of the reason.

CHILDHOOD

 It reminded me that I used to be a child who tried to fix a spider web.

By Nina Katchdourian

Eat something for shit.

I do not like reading(in English).

But It is time to reading.

I can find words or sentences in  books which express my thought.

Now I recognise  my though and ideas are not new at all.(I have known..but..)

It's really important thing.I can not stack up my nose anymore.

Of cause I can get brand-new things from books.It is helpful for my works.

I will never be bored.

I have not thought about concept so much before.

I just enjoyed painting,drawing,creating. But now I can not be satisfied.

Now I'm becoming mature parson! 

(And I have not finished the book was named WAYS OF SEEING.I am not talking about this book.just used this cover image. )

Today's my drawing.

Ceri amphlett

Her works are sometimes too catchy n pop for me.
But line is always special.


I'm jealous.

Fine art

This is the proses of my project.
