RIKO MATSUYAMA
人それぞれが、自分の好きな色や形、事柄を知り、
自分らしさを大切にしながら輝いてほしい、それぞれが
離れていくのではなく、互いに力を合わせて助け合って
ほしい。そんな理由から、「個々の輝きと繋がり」を
テーマに制作しています。モチーフである棒状の物体に
明確な意味やルールは存在せず、フリーハンドで描く
棒状の物体に同じものはひとつとしてありません。
棒状の物体は、見る人によって、見る人のその時々の心情によって、さまざまに理解されるので構わないと思って
います。社会のデジタル化が進んでいくなか、人間にしか表せられない温かみを作品から感じていただきたいです。
I want everyone to shine and cherish their uniqueness, especially in an isolated and divided world marked by individualism. Therefore, it is important to revalue
the warmth of connection with others while being yourself. This has led to my ongoing theme, “diverse identities and their connection”. The motif “Line-Shaped Object” does not have a definite meaning. They can be perceived and understood in various ways, depending on the viewer and their temporary emotional state.
As society becomes increasingly digitalized, I remain committed to freehand drawing to capture a warmth
that exclusively humans can express.
