Two different “sames” — / 同じ2枚のはずが~~

(日本語は画像の下に) Just a basic exercixe. Out of Croquis Cafe, I chose a “mirror, mirror” image and made two croquis, around 30 minutes each. (A “mirror, mirror” drawing contains two figures, so actually it’s 15 minutes per figure.) The upper one … Continue reading

“Plum in Ascension”, St. 3 / ステージ3

Just an “upward movement” takes us only to the empty, outer space. “Ascension” must mean something more more profound — 「昇天」というとき、私は「他の時空への変質」と捉えています。 単なる「上昇運動」では、外宇宙の虚空に移っていくだけですからね。「昇天」は、もっと深遠な何かのはず。 The two scanned images below show colors closer to … Continue reading

“Error in the Perspective”, St. 4 / ステージ4

Getting closer to the finish — but what is the finish of an error?? いくらか完成に近づいています ・・・ けど、「エラー」の完成って、なんだ?? As I always, say, the scanned images below show colors closer to the real, than does the photo above. いつも申しておりますが、下のスキャナー画像の方が上の写真よりも、実際の色合いに近いです。

“Gravity Error”, St. 3 / ステージ3

Still in progress. IF the horizon turned vertical, someone lying on the ground would turn pale — まだ制作は進行中。 地平線が鉛直に走るようになったりしたら、地面に 横たわっている人も青ざめることでしょう ・・・

“Plum in Ascension”, St. 2 / ステージ2

Some progress. I hope now you see the outline of what this painting should look like when it’s done. There once was a song, “Above us only the sky”, but the plain fact is that “above us is only the … Continue reading

“Error in the Perspective”, St. 3 / ステージ3

Some progress. Still a long way to go, as I view the sunset — the descending sunlight carries a cobalt –> pink –> orange color gradation, which makes the sky look warped. You see, a warped sky creates errors in … Continue reading

“Gravity Error”, St. 2 / ステージ2

Stage 2 (some progress) A long way ahead — ステージ2(多少進んだ) まだまだ先は長い ・・・ As I often say, the scanned images below show colors closer to the real, than does the photo above. たびたび申し上げているように、下のスキャナー画像の方が上の写真よりも実際の色合いに近いです。
