制作の場が長岡から長野になって２度目の個展となる今回の絵に、思わず声を上げてしまった。山がさらに間近に迫り、おそわれるような、抱かれるような、恐怖と歓喜の交じった感覚にざわっとしたのだ。
後藤裕子に聞いたパリのボザールで学んだ日々の話を思い出す。詳細は忘れたが、絵の構成や表現について、ていねいな対話が、教師たちとできたのが貴重な学びだったという。そうして若い日に体に入った〈絵の言葉〉が、非水平動的空間とも言うべき長野の自然や季節に語りかけられて、反射的に、自然に応え返している。生き生きした会話の弾みが、そのまま絵の言葉に、声になっている。（企画者・文：大倉 宏／主催：新潟絵屋＋企画者）
This is Hiroko Goto’s second solo exhibition since she moved her studio from Nagaoka to Nagano, and I involuntarily raised my voice when I saw these paintings. The mountains loomed even closer, and I felt a shiver run through me—a sensation that was both intimidating and comforting, a mix of fear and joy. I recall the stories Goto shared about her days studying at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Though I’ve forgotten the specifics, she said that the careful dialogue she had with her teachers about composition and artistic expression was a valuable learning experience. The “language of painting” that became ingrained in her during her youth now responds instinctively and naturally to the nature and seasons of Nagano—a landscape that could be described as a non-horizontal, dynamic space. The lively rhythm of the conversation is captured exactly as it is in the visual language and the voices. (Exhibition Planner/Text: Hiroshi Okura / Organized by: Niigata Eya + Exhibition Planner)

Hiroko Goto
Born in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo, in 1951. Goto grew up in an environment where her father gave her art books and her grandmother gave her a box of oil paints. After graduating from art school, she moved to France to re-learn oil painting from the ground up, focusing on composition and technique, and graduated from the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts (Beaux-Arts) in Paris in 1982. After returning to Japan, she lived in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture from 1995 to 2019. Having had the opportunity to display landscape paintings in hospitals and other facilities, she began creating sketches and compositional drawings. She held solo exhibitions at the Japan Pavilion in the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris in 1982, at Gallery Mitsuke in 2018, and at Niigata Eya in 2018, 2019, and 2024. In 2019, she moved to Nagano Prefecture.
