    Description

    I was playing in a shallow river and fell down when I was running to the other side. When you fall into the river, you hear the sound of water and suddenly see a different scenery from before. Because the world changes so suddenly, my mind is also in a panic. Now that I am an adult, I miss the old days when I had such an experience. The more experience I gain, the less mistakes I make, and the more peaceful my daily life becomes. This work may be expressing the memory of playing in the river or the pool in the past. The impression may differ depending on the viewer. When I paint abstract paintings, I am sometimes able to capture a scene from the world without intending to. How a person judges a painting depends on his or her thoughts and experiences. If the artist were to describe this work in a nutshell, it would be a scene in which a person has fallen into a river. The sky is clear and the atmosphere of summer vacation is felt, and this picture reminds us of our youth. However, since it is an abstract painting, each person has his or her own way of feeling.

  • About this artist

    Concept

    It is a tribute to the typical chromatic palette of the subject of still life, a theme that Shogo holds dear since his years of study. Peculiar is the pictorial rendering of the spreading of color. Indefinite stains, formulated at first through the use of a thick brushstroke that exudes dense and opaque color; then light touches, gradual releases of evanescent colors, light and impalpable, watery in their consistency and expanding on the paper following the constitutive texture of its fibers. Yet, something stands out in this earthy landscape. Something extremely bright, luminous, engaging. An intense blue rises from the surface of the support, from the calm and quiet swamp below. A blue applied with an aggressive gesture, instinctive and strong in its speed of application stands out in the middle of the composition giving it a sense and a wonderful completeness. It is the power of color to dominate the work of art, the supremacy of its intrinsic expressive force over silhouette, line, form and all the elements that dominate our daily vision of reality. After all, Shogo has created an "invisible landscape" in this painting, an excerpt of space-time which is the result of a distillation of reality, of a decantation of the superfluous in order to arrive at the constitutive core of every form, of every element that contributes to the composition of our daily vision. It is a landscape that cannot be objectively traced back to something existing and yet, in the artist's mind, this scenario is very clear and present. It is the result of his sublimation of reality, of the transformation of everyday life to a higher degree of understanding, to a qualitative level that excludes every superfluous element, every superabundant detail, every element that distances us from the assimilation of a pure and uncontaminated reality.
