ユトリロと現代モンパルナス展に描き下ろした作品で、ユトリロに関する文を読みあさって、一番焦点として感じた事は、ユトリロと母との関係性でした。一般的にはかなり悪い影響を与えましたが、才能を開花させたのも母です。

もしかしたら伝えられてきた物語以外のことがあったのかもしれません。母のシュザンヌヴァラドンにも母らしい母になりたかった気持ちくらいはあったのかも知れません。

実は2人にはこういう一面もあったのか、ユトリロの来世での望みか、はたまた転生した姿か、神のみぞしる。

それは、見た方の想像に委ねたいと思います。

ネコにすることにより、直接表現を避けて、色や形のコントラストをつけ、それらを表現しました。

#Utrillo and contemporary Montparnasse.

After reading through the texts about Utrillo,

in the work I drew for the #Utrillo and Contemporary Montparnasse exhibition,

the thing I found as the most focal point was Utrillo's relationship with his mother. In general, she was a very bad influence, but she was also the one who developed his talent.

Maybe there was more to it than the story that has been told. Maybe his mother, Suzanne Valadon, at least had the desire to be a motherly mother.

In fact, only God knows whether they both had this side of them, or whether it was Utrillo's hope in the next life, or whether it was a reincarnated form.

I will leave that to the imagination of the viewer.

By making them a cat, I avoided direct representation and used contrasts of colour and shape to be successfully aimed to express their life and story..

#Utrillo and contemporary Montparnasse At the exhibition.

Suddenly, annnouncement was

heard, I know I won an art prize. I'm so happy.

There are various genres of works by contemporary artists, and the works by Utrillo, Henri Farge and Sakae Hasegawa are great!

My row was a trio of fittings ultra-precision art, Henri Farge and myself (Seek for love), and they particularly aimed to contrast the atmosphere created by Henri Farge's work with the atmosphere created by my work.

Some said my work remind viewers of not only Matisse's symbolic side, but also his natural good nature that is evoked in his work.

I was also grateful for the wonderful and warm critique by art critic Mr Yasutomo Shimizu (last photo).

They say that the works that have survived in later generations have been discussed by experts and left in writing so that we, future generations, can enjoy them.

I was recommended to publish a good collection of my artworks.
