We are pleased to announce that the solo exhibition “KIRARI” of Fuyuka Hasegawa (1981- ) in YOKOI FINE ART will be held as below.
She has devoted herself to painting after Art Fair Tokyo in April and executed approximately 10 oil paintings and dozens of watercolors.
Her exhibition is held after an interval of a year since her solo exhibition was held in YOKOI FINE ART in December 2007.
We are looking forward to your coming and advertisement.
Hasegawa says;
“I stick to items at home as motif I draw. I am moved to express the connection between one’s skin and its house because they seem to be connected actually. In other words, I am interested in a scene of one’s body and its house; a scene of the space around them.
Inside of the house is the important place for everyone as it is apart from the outside; sky, wind and rain. It is the symbol of peace of mind and the place of the relaxation of body and soul.
The items I draw such as curtains, beddings and clothes are crinkled loosely as far as they are not ironed. They always have a sign of someone since the cloths have defended one’s skins and include his/her breath and warmth.
This kind of stories fascinate me.”
A year has passed since the last exhibition.
The outline of the motif is clearer than before as she says,
“I would like to capture the motif more in detail, clear and freshly.”
Hair ornament is the series she has been painting since last year. This exhibition includes the new works of this series under the theme of four seasons. She focuses on the hair itself which is apart from a body. Hair ornaments move and dress up as if they are alive.
This is a very strange story, of course, that hairs are apart from body and they have ego. However, Hasegawa aims at the intuitive sense when one sees fallen hairs.
In addition, she tired to find the possibility that the hair itself expresses something as a symbol of women and a one of the fashion item.
“I would like to draw the motif (a room, hair…) which has the atmosphere of person strongly.” We can feel shining energy from hair, bedding, and all of motif she draws.
Although they are ordinary items, they become something special once someone touches. They seem to be named and transformed from the unnamed items sold at hops. They get their own names.
Hasegawa challenges to draw watercolor paintings for the first time. She draws them “as I dry my hair at night, as I put on socks before I go out”, she says.
The motif she draws reflects her thought and tastes directly.
