niigata eya exhibition 719
この個展の展示作業前日にしんぞうと新潟市西蒲区のイベント「どろんこカップ」に参加する。泥縄、泥試合、泥棒…と負のイメージをなすりつけられることの多い泥だけれど、泥遊びの楽しさを忘れられない人もあるだろう。
しんぞうは絵の具という泥で、人のなかの泥を描こうとする画家だ。心や体の裏のふたをされた暗い場所、泥沼。人はかつて、そこで泣き、わめき、大笑いし、無限の快を感じた記憶を持っている。
こじあけたふたがスタートライン。絵筆を手に、「どろんこフラッグ」レースよろしく泥を駆けて、駆けてイメージの旗を見事につかんでくる。

The day before setting up this solo exhibition, I will participate in the “Doronko Cup” (Muddy Cup) event in Nishikan Ward, Niigata City with Sinzow. Although the word “doro” (mad) is often associated with negative connotations such as doronawa (putting things off until the last minute), dorojiai, (slugfest) and dorobou (thieves), there are surely those who can’t forget the joy of playing in the mud.
Sinzow is a painter who uses paint, a kind of mud, to depict the mud within people. The dark places hidden beneath the surface of our minds and bodies: quagmires. People carry memories of having once cried, screamed, laughed heartily, and felt infinite joy there.
Prying open that lid is the starting line. With a paintbrush in hand, Sinzow dashes through the mud like she is in a “Mud Flag” race, running and running and she successfully seizes the flag of her images. (Exhibition Planner & Text: Hiroshi Okura / Organized by: Niigata Eya + Exhibition Planner)
