ミヅマアートギャラリーでは7月22日より山本竜基展を開催致します。
様々な手法を用いて徹底的に自画像を描き続けてきた山本は、自画像のみを用いて森羅万象を描く試みを続けています。本展はミヅマアートギャラリーでの６年ぶりの個展となります。

山本は自らの半径３メートル以内の日常の出来事をきっかけに着想を得ると言います。2014年の個展ののちにインドネシアのジョグジャカルタでの滞在制作を経験した山本は、次第に自分の目に映る周囲の人々を帰納法的な自画像として描くことが増えてきました。本展ではいくつかの他者像の形式を取った作品も発表します。

山本にとっては例外的な他者像として、これまでにも何度か描いてきた対象が母親です。大作《おかんと戦争》では、若かりし姿の母親が、女性の象徴としてキャンバスの中央に大きく描かれます。仏に取り巻かれ、宇宙の中心で微笑む母親の周囲には、戦闘機や学生服姿の山本たちが所狭しと飛びまわり、戦いを繰り返しています。多様性を求め、あらゆる局面で競争と淘汰を繰り返す性と生。《おかんと戦争》では、その磁力的な混沌と躍動が形作るこの世界が描かれます。

超個人的に記号化された世界表現は、その立場や役割が置き換え可能であるがゆえに普遍性を持ちます。山本がこの６年間取り組んできた自画像表現をぜひご高覧ください。


Mizuma Art Gallery presents an exhibition by Yamamoto Ryuki starting on 22nd July.

Yamamoto has been drawing self-portraits using various techniques, and continues to try to draw everything in the universe using only self-portraits. This is his first solo exhibition in six years at Mizuma Art Gallery.

Yamamoto says he gets his inspiration from daily events that happens within his three-meter radius. After his solo exhibition in 2014 and gaining experiences working abroad in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, Yamamoto gradually began to draw the people around him in a way of inductive reasoning to further his self-portraits. In this exhibition, several images in the form of others will also be presented.

As an exceptional otherness as images for Yamamoto, the figure he has painted several times in the past was of his mother. In the epic “Mother and War” his youthful mother is depicted as a large figure in the center of the canvas, symbolizing woman. His mother, encircled by Buddhas and smiling at the center of the universe, is surrounded by countless fighter jets and Yamamotos wearing school uniforms who are hovering around her, and repeating battles. Sexuality and life that seek diversity, repeat competition and natural selection in every aspect. “Mother and War” depicts this world shaped by its magnetic chaos and vigor.



The expression of the world, symbolized in a manner so personal, holds universality as its positions and roles are interchangeable. We invite you to examine the expressions of self-portraits which Yamamoto has thoroughly undertaken for the past six years.
