Art shoe "Rain de Shower" in Yokohama, Japan!!

It was already 2 weeks ago, but from June 15, 2013 to June 21, 2013, I had my solo art show call "Rain de Shower" at AAA Gallery in Yokohama, Japan.



June is rainy season in most of area in Japan.

Most people don't like this season because it's so wet!!!


But, it's also pretty and artistic if we change the way we look at rain.

I hoped people enjoy the rain, so I decided to choose rain for the topic of my art show!!



Let's open the door!

More art work!

And more art work!!

Let's look at the sealing!
















Take a closer look!

This room was a restroom of the gallery!

Ready to leave!?



















I made necklaces like these!


I would like to say thank you very much to all people who visited to see my show!!

See you next time!!!!!!

I love birds!

I am an animal lover, but there are some animals I don't like.
Chickens are my leastfavorite animals.

When I was in college, I majored fine arts.
One of the figure drawing classes I took, we got an assignment to draw a whole chiken meet.
All of my classmates and I got together and did the home work.
It sounds like fun, but I had a problem!

I hate chickens! I can't stand even just looking at them!!

I told my professor "I'm sorry, I hate chicken, so I couldn't draw chicken!!"



All I drew was that my classmates drawing a chicken. 
My teacher was cool enough to understand me!

After many years passed, I started to paint chicken!
This picture is called "I love birdy" I painted last year.

It doesn't mean I started to like them.

All I like is eating chicken meat!

Empty Mind

We can understand many things with our knowledges and experiences.

However, there are also many things we can see by forgetting about all of our knowledges and experiences.

I don't know about other people, but I believe so.

I guess I am interested in such thing more.


It is a little different story, but in my dream, sometimes I forget who I am and become different person.

Time, environment or my age could be different in my dreams.

I often forget about my nationality, age or gender when I talk to people, and conversation can be more interesting and more fun that way.

When I was painting at home, some visiter came and asked me if I were sleeping. 

It happen to me a few times.

Maybe when I paint, my mind can be as empty as when I sleep.

This painting is called "Past", I painted in 2005.  It has nothing to do with this blog...(^^)

Worries

I believe art is my call!


I used to worry about things like future, and I was thinking about if what I was doing right thing for me, or stuff like that.

I guess many young people feel same way I felt.

One day, I told my self, "As long as I paint or draw, I don't have to worry about anything!"

Since then, I had made a lot of art!


About 10 years passed, I have nothing to worry about now!!

What I think about gay marriage.

I am a straight married man, but I respect gay people.

Since I was a child, I was interested in girls. If some one tells me to like boys for my date, it is impossible. I think majority of people in the world are the same way.

However; there are people who are interested in same sex. If any one tells them to like opposite sex for date, I don't think it is possible either.

Well, they can pretend to like opposite sex, but I think that is very hard because if I pretend to like a man, and I have to live with him and have to have sex with him, no matter how nice man he is, it must be a nightmare for me!

Gay people love same sex, so what!? I think true love is always great!

One day, I saw a gay couple in the city. They were an international couple.
At first, I didn't think about anything, but I realized they might have to break up some day no matter how much they love each other.

I lived in foreign country for many years, so I know getting visa to stay in foreign countries are not always easy.

If couple were married, it is pretty easy to get visa to live in the same country, but if not, they need to find official reason to live and must get visa for that.

Two people love each other, isn't that enough reason!?
