山本竜基展 アーティストインタビュー / YAMAMOTO Ryuki Exhibition Artist Interview

2025 / 12 / 10 (wed.)　‐　2026 / 1/ 17 (sat.) 【 展覧会ページ / Exhibition Page 】 日本語：https://mizuma-art.co.jp/exhibitions/... English：hhttps://mizuma-art.co.jp/en/exhibitio... ミヅマアートギャラリーでは 12月10日(水)より山本竜基展を開催致します。 長らく自画像を主に描き続けてきた山本ですが、インドネシアでの滞在制作や新聞連載小説の挿画などの経験を経て、近年は家族以外の身の回りの人々や動物を描くことも次第に増えてきました。山本がつい感情移入してしまうという気弱さと従順を象徴する柴犬たち。コロナ禍で閉じこもる人間を傍目に、人が定めた境界を自由に越えてはどこでも気ままにゴロゴロする、偉大な存在としての猫たち。平和と幸福感の象徴とも言えるモフモフの塊アンゴラウサギ。何を争っているかも誰と戦っているかも分からないまま揺れ動き、日々様々なエゴイズムを旗印に苦闘を続けるちっぽけな自分たちとは対照的に、これらの存在は揺るぎなく泰然と、大きく描かれます。小さく頼りなく見える多様性は、大らかな安定性に遺伝子的に包摂され、世界は諸行無常を理として続いていきます。自画像を描き続けたことで辿り着いた、おかしみに満ちた曼荼羅ともいえる山本の世界描写をぜひこの機会にご高覧ください。 Mizuma Art Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition by YAMAMOTO Ryuki, opening on Wednesday, 10 December 2025. For many years, Yamamoto devoted himself primarily to self-portraiture. Following experiences such as his artist residency in Indonesia and his work illustrating a serialised newspaper novel, he has in recent years increasingly turned his attention to depicting the people, beyond his own family, and animals around him. Among his new subjects are Shiba dogs, symbols of timidity and obedience, for whom the artist admits a certain emotional affinity. There are cats, majestic beings who, unlike the humans confined indoors during the pandemic, roamed freely across our man-made boundaries, curling up wherever they pleased. And there are the Angora rabbits, soft and fluffy, symbols of peace and happiness. In contrast to our own small and uncertain selves, struggling each day under the flags of various kinds of egoism, drifting without knowing about what or with whom we are fighting, these creatures stand calm and unwavering, portrayed on a grand scale. The seemingly small and fragile diversity of life is embraced, at the genetic level, within a broad and generous stability, and the world continues on, governed by the laws of impermanence and change. Through years of painting self-portraits, Yamamoto has arrived at a depiction of the world that might be called a humorous mandala. We warmly invite you to experience it in this latest exhibition.
