A single piece of cotton print fabric that I made myself.
It will gently spread throughout the two towns that are close to me.
The focus is on the scenery.

A modest photo exhibition recording activities.


T+review

　The works displayed were generally in muted colors and had a simple feel, creating a soothing space. I imagine that "Home Sweet Home" means something like "Ah, my home" or "my beloved home," but did you create this piece with a similar feeling?
The figurine-like work placed on a stand has a mysterious feel that is a mixture of creepiness and cuteness. The elongated eyes and lower eyelashes are striking, but I personally like the small, round mouth. There is something innocent about the depiction of a mouth like this.
The patterns printed on the screen prints hanging on the wall were very visually interesting, with some looking like bread and others like coffee beans. Abstract expressions are often seen differently by different people. There are works that are intentionally ambiguous, with the viewer being free to decide what they see as their own. Of course, there are also times when the artist tries to depict a specific object without ambiguity, but even such expressions may appear to the viewer as something different from what the artist intended. In such cases, it may simply be that the artist lacks the technical ability... (Ichikawa Taiya)

Discovering "Street Art"


T+review

　Sometimes, when you come across graffiti around town, some of the pictures are quite interesting and you find yourself staring at them. The act of graffiti itself is not something that is praised, but perhaps it is also possible to appreciate them purely as paintings.
　Graffiti designs are diverse, but they all seem to have something in common. This is especially true for graffiti with letters, which are all instantly recognizable as "a graffiti-like image." They all seem free-spirited, but they all seem to share something in common. Graffiti somehow seems to carry with it an outlaw feeling, but maybe that kind of anti-social style is also a fashion.

"Lights on Earth" Takechi Kukaito December 2016th - December 12th, 12

"Lights on Earth" will be held.
Venue: Art Gallery T+
Date: July 2016st (Monday) - August 12th (Friday), 12
Exhibitor: Kukaito Takechi (1st year master's student, Graduate School of Life and Environmental Sciences)

A fleeting moment between day and night,
The city always starts to shine somewhere.
An exhibition of city lights photographed in various places around the world.


T+review

"Magic hour" refers to the brief period of twilight that comes after sunset. Takechi Kukaito's photographs are of cityscapes from around the world taken during that time. Each of these photographs emits a dazzling light, and each light captured by the camera through long exposure photography appears as a trail on the screen. The cityscapes with that light are beautiful and leave an impression that is captivating. This is because he photographs the emotional part of people that cannot be captured by the human eye. In other words, his photographs show a lack of realism that simply depicts reality as it is. These are not simply landscape photographs, but are largely staged in the works, which give them a different meaning than the plain cityscape. However, the brilliant light powerfully conveys to us the hidden beauty of the city, and in the sense that it expresses something that cannot be seen, something that the photographer himself senses, I think that it is a successful piece of artistic photography.

"Western Painting Exhibition" Western Painting Major 2nd Year November 2016st - 11nd, 21th - 11th, 22

A Western painting exhibition will be held.
Venue: Art Gallery T+
Dates: November 2016st (Monday) - November 11nd (Tuesday), November 21th (Thursday) - November 11th (Friday), 22
Exhibitor: 2nd year Western painting major

A Western-style painting exhibition will be held by a total of 2 second-year students of the Western-style painting course. Although the term "Western-style painting" has a historical definition, its meaning is currently unclear. In this exhibition, each exhibitor will present the results of their thoughts on Western-style painting, looking at Japan's past when Western-style painting was born, the present when the boundaries between Western-style painting and other paintings are blurred, and the future when Western-style painting is expected to decline.

T+review

At first glance, it may seem like a typical group exhibition where students from the same grade get together and display their works, but what makes this exhibition special is that each of them writes about their thoughts on "Western painting" and accompanies their works. Some people explain how they perceive Western painting and how they expressed that in their work, while others say that it is difficult to determine in their own mind what Western painting is, so they painted what they wanted to paint. As someone who knows the faces of the exhibitors, it was interesting to learn a new side of them, seeing how they thought.
　There are pros and cons to the method of exhibiting works with written explanations, but I personally like the idea of ​​having text, as it gives us an insight into the artist's thoughts. However, depending on the text, the content can be so abstract that it becomes even more difficult to understand the artist's thoughts, and the image we had at first glance can be changed by the caption when we get closer and read it more closely. It's a difficult problem, but I think that if I can learn to enjoy these gaps, I will be able to grow even more as an appreciator. (Horikoshi Fumika)

T+review

　The fluffy cotton candy-like artworks float on the white walls of the gallery. The sea slugs, painted in pastel colors on small screens, are so large that at first glance they look like abstract paintings, sticking out from the screen, but then they are neatly placed within the screen like insect specimens, or small and hunched up like flowers, showing us a variety of different poses.
　While looking at this exhibition, I felt as if I was in a dream world. Although real sea slugs are also very colorful and mysterious, the sea slugs depicted in this exhibition gave me a different impression. This is probably because they were depicted in much paler colors than the real thing, and with a soft touch that seemed to melt into the air. As I mentioned at the beginning, they looked like cotton candy.
The vague sea slugs were an exhibition that drew us into a peaceful dream world for the short time we spent viewing the work. (Toda Haruka)
