青陽 – seiyou –  日本画選抜9人展

青陽とは、五行説で、青は春、陽は陽気の盛んであることから「春の日の光」「初春」を意味します。
本展では、日本画の世界に光をあて、日本画の世界で美を追求するアーティスト9名を選出し、
初春の会期に岩絵の具という画肌のなかに表現される作家たちが魅せる作品世界を展観します。
日本画の魅力は独特の美しい色を生み出す絵の具の魅力、絵の具の宝石のような顔料の輝きと煌き、柔らかな光を放つ画肌、独特なマチエールなどほかの画材とは違った魅力が溢れています。
明治維新以降、日本は急速に近代化が進み、あらゆるものがめまぐるしく変容し美術界も、西洋の影響を多大に受けることになります。そうしたなか、従来の伝統的な日本の絵画は、西洋から移入された「洋画」と区別するため「日本画」と称されるようになりました。
2000年代中頃から日本画は、現代アートと交錯するようになり花鳥風月ではないカジュアルなものやサブカルな画題を取り入れるなど伝統的な日本画の手法を借りながら、現代アートの最先端を切り開くアーティストも現れ、日本画を基調とした作品は世界からも注目を集めるようになっています。
展示作品を通じ日本画というテーマで様々な技法とスタイルの中に映し出される心象世界をコンテンポラリーアートシーンの問題として捉え、日本の伝統的な技法や様式の上に育てられ、熟成発展した日本画という視覚芸術に今一度その価値を求め、日本画の王道的見地に立脚し次世代の日本画の可能性と方向性を探りたいと思います。
The title of this exhibition, “Seiyo,” is from the Wǔxíng (Philosophy of Five Elements). As “sei” stands for spring and “yo” stands for lively energy, it means “light of a spring day” or “early spring.”
This exhibition highlights the world of Nihonga (Japanese-style paintings) and displays the works that feature and express early spring days with mineral paints by the selected nine artists who are in pursuit of beauty through this art form.
Nihonga is full of fascinations, with the magic of the painting materials that create uniquely beautiful colors, the jewel-like shine and luster from the paint pigments, the soft glow that emits from paintings, and a distinctive matière different from those created with other materials.
After the Meiji Restoration, Japan saw rapid modernization where various aspects of the country changed quickly. The art world, too, was no exception, and received heavy Western influences. In such a time, conventional and traditional Japanese paintings were named “Nihonga” to differentiate them from “Yōga (Western-style paintings)” that were introduced from the West.
From the mid-2000s, the Nihonga began crossing paths with modern art. While based on traditional Nihonga techniques, casual and subcultural topics, unlike Kachōfūgetsu (the beauties of nature), began to be incorporated. Pioneering artists from the modern art world also started taking part in this movement, and works based on the Nihonga began attracting notice from around the world.
Through the exhibited works, the exhibition aims to capture the world of imagery created under the theme of Nihonga using various techniques and styles as an issue in the contemporary art scene. It also seeks afresh the value of the Nihonga, a visual art matured and evolved after being nurtured with traditional Japanese techniques and styles, as well as the possibilities and directions of the Nihonga in the next generation from an orthodox standpoint of Nihonga.
