弓手研平
Kenpei YUNDE
關於
基於所有的主題都是存在於『土地』上的想法，弓手研平所有的作品都是從土地根基開始創作的。
因為每件作品都會經過50多層顏料的堆疊，所以他的一張作品都需要一年時間左右來完成。用他的話來說就是，每一件作品都彷彿是土壤的耕耘、播種、澆水，然後經過春夏秋冬的色彩變化才能完成的。
他總是問自己：“人類活動的起源是什麼？”。然後用最笨拙的創作方式，通過翻覆的堆疊和刮削形成的厚重材質感來表現日本文化的深厚美感。
另一方面，完全相反的，在臨場即興作畫時候的速度感又更好地表現了作為藝術家的存在感。
He believes that all the things in this world are born from the soil and exist on it.
No matter what he paints with oil, he starts by putting the color of the soil on canvas.
After the first layer, he repeats the process of glazing and scraping more than 50 layers and spends one whole year to complete.
In his words, he paints as if he feeds a crop; starts from cultivating the soil, and spreading seed, giving water, putting the layers of the four seasons, and finally harvests after a year.
Every work he paints has its own one year’s process to grow.
He expresses a Japanese beauty based on the culture in the thick and sculpture-like texture, asking himself about human activities.
In contrast to the oil painting, the improvised drawing works represent his descriptive ability and reflect the presence in the field.
