niigata eya exhibition 666
作家在廊日:3/1・2・3・13・14(予定)

 合わせ鏡的な構成の八木なぎさの以前の版画を、さまざまな力が互いに押し(引き)合い、はりつめて生まれた静止空間に見えると以前に書いた。水鳥を憩わせる冬の水面が、季節のうつろいとともにぬるみ、暖かい風に吹かれて揺れだしたような解放感を新しい作品群に感じ、おどろいた。 生き生きした手書き楽譜か、韻律の美しい詩集のページを開くような、部分ではなく全体のやわらかい胎動。春の候鳥や草や木々が、小声で歌い出したかのように、モノクロームの画面にほのかな色が浮かんできた。絵に訪れた春のきざしを、3月の絵屋で静かに体験したい。(企画者:大倉宏)

I have written in the past about Yagi Nagisa’s previous prints, which have a mirror-like composition, that look like a still space created by various strained forces pushing against (or pulling) each other. I was surprised to find in her new works a sense of freedom, as if the surface of winter water, where waterfowl rest, had become tepid with the changing of the seasons and began to ripple in the warm breeze. It was like opening the pages of a lively handwritten score or a beautifully rhymed book of poems, the soft movement of the whole, rather than its parts. It is if the birds, grass, and trees in the springtime began to sing in a whisper, a hint of color floated across the black-and-white screen. I would like to quietly experience the signs of spring that will come as the paintings at the gallery in March. (Exhibition Planner: Hiroshi Okura)
