關於
市川友章，透過他的繪畫和雕塑追求獨特風格的藝術家。他的中心思想是從他自己的觀點詮釋他的日常生活經驗和思考。他將繪畫看作輕鬆如吃飯，將創造雕塑視為自然如對話。市川友章的藝術風格和主題是在大學時他面對他的作品不會立即售出或獲得認可的嚴酷現實時形成的。
他建立了從日常生活中創作作品的主題，繪製他的寵物的生動肖像和雕刻他的女兒的木雕。他的怪獸系列起源是在東日本大地震後開始製作的。
他的靈感來自西方古典繪畫，軟膠（soft vinyl）玩具和日常對話。他的作品總是帶有代表生活本身的信息和概念，以某種形式保護他的生活時間，並傳達這種感覺，這不是贏或輸，而價值在於自我。
市川友章は、自身の生活からインスピレーションを得て美術作品を制作する一方、日常生活やペット、災害等をテーマに作品を作り出します。その表現手法は絵画から彫刻まで多岐にわたり、市川の哲学や人生観が込められた作品は観る者に独自の世界観を提示します。彼の独特な視点から描かれる現実の世界は、見慣れた風景を新鮮な目で再評価するきっかけとなります。西洋古典絵画やソフビのおもちゃ等の様々な要素を組み合わせる市川の作品は、常に新鮮な視点を提供します。
Tomoaki Ichikawa, an artist who relentlessly pursues original expression through his paintings and sculptures. His theme is to interpret his daily life experiences and thoughts from his own perspective. He idealizes drawing pictures as casually as eating meals and creating sculptures as naturally as conversing. Ichikawa's art style and themes were formed when he faced the harsh reality in university that his artworks wouldn't instantly sell or receive recognition. He established his theme of creating artworks from everyday life, painting vivid portraits of his pets and carving wooden sculptures of his daughter. His series of kaiju (strange beast) figures was initiated following the Great East Japan Earthquake. His inspirations stem from Western classical paintings, sofubi (soft vinyl) toys, and everyday conversations. His artworks always carry messages and concepts that represent life itself, securing his lived time in some form and conveying the sensation that it's not about winning or losing, but the value lies in oneself.
