sai.shiki.sai.zuⅧ

Sai.shiki.sai.zu Ⅷ” is a work in which the artist photographed a self-made object and then painted over it.
Through the act of layering photography and painting, a new image emerged with a fresh emotional resonance.
Since childhood, the artist has loved painting, and growing up around his father’s paint shop, colors, pigments, and materials naturally became part of his creative language.
He recalls being fascinated, as a child, by the swirling paints in the opening sequence of the series Ultra Q.
Although unrelated to the work itself, that impression—along with memories of watching his father mix colors—nurtured his sensitivity to color.
「Sai.shiki.sai.zu Ⅷ」は、自ら制作した被写体を撮影し、その上からペインティングを施した作品です。
撮影と描く行為を重ねることで、また新たなイメージが立ち上がる感覚を得ました。
幼い頃から絵が好きで、塗装業を営む父のもとで、色や塗料、顔料に親しんできた経験が、今の制作にも自然に息づいています。
子どもの頃、特撮番組『ウルトラQ』の冒頭で塗料が混ざり合う映像に心を奪われた記憶があります。
その印象と父が色を混ぜる姿を見つめていた体験が、私の色彩への感受性を育てたのだと思います。
