STREET DREAMS STUDIOS TOKYOは、2024年3月23日より、画家 真田将太朗氏のSOLO EXHIBITION「OVER」を開催いたします。

真田将太朗氏は空間性を内包した「新しい風景」の創出を目指す大型絵画を制作する傍ら、人工知能を造形芸術に応用し創造性の根源を探る美学・科学の融合的研究に従事しています。東京藝術大学美術学部を卒業後、本年4月より東京大学大学院修士課程へ進学。東京藝術大学在学時から多くの個展を発表し、Google Japan × Z世代アーティスト 第1弾アーティストに選出され、JR東日本より指名で長野駅に10mの大壁画が半永久的常設展示されるなど、全国各地で作品を手がけている、Z世代を代表する画家になります。

個展「OVER」では、木材の伐採から納入までを一貫して手がける勝野木材様の協力のもと、すべての作品を「木曽檜」で制作しています。檜は日本人の心を捉え続ける高級木材の代名詞であり、特に御嶽山を望む木曽谷の厳しい気候で長い年月をかけて育った木曽檜は、古来から伊勢神宮をはじめとした神社・仏閣の建築用材として珍重される木材です。

本展で真田氏は、「生きている」という感覚に焦点をあて、木曽檜の幹に刻まれた年輪が、時間の流れを証明する軌跡であると同時に、生命の営みをダイナミックに視覚化する描線であり、歴史を感じさせる命の断面となったとき、そこに浮き上がる風景は現代にどう映るのかを表現しています。

今回は約20点の新作を発表すると同時に、100kgを超える木曽檜の切り株を展示会場に持ち込み、展示期間中を通して完成させる、ライブペインティングを実施します。

ぜひ皆様お誘い合わせの上ご来場ください。

STREET DREAMS STUDIOS TOKYO will be hosting artist Shotaro Sanada's SOLO EXHIBITION "OVER" from March 23, 2024.

In addition to producing large-scale paintings that aim to create "new landscapes" that incorporate spatiality, Shotaro Sanada is also engaged in research of aesthetics and science that explore the roots of creativity by applying artificial intelligence to plastic arts. After graduating from Tokyo University of the Arts at the Faculty of Fine Arts, he entered the master's program at the University of Tokyo Graduate School in April this year. Since he was a student, he has presented many solo exhibitions, was selected as the first artist of Google Japan × Generation Z Artist, has been nominated by JR East to have a 10m large mural on a semi-permanent display at Nagano Station, and has exhibited his work all over the country. He is a Japanese painter who represents Gen Z. 

For his solo exhibition “OVER”, all works are made from “Kiso Hinoki'' in cooperation with Katsuno Mokuzai. Kiso Hinoki is synonymous with high-quality wood that continues to capture the hearts of Japanese people, and it has excellent durability, earthquake resistance, health benefits, and antiseptic effects, as well as comforting properties such as fragrance, warmth, and texture. In particular, Kiso Hinoki, which has been grown over many years in the harsh climate of the Kiso Valley overlooking Mt.Ontake, has been prized as a construction material for shrines and temples, including Ise Grand Shrine. Celebrating their 60th anniversary, Katsuno Mokuzai is taking on the challenge of realizing a society where people and forests coexist through sustainable forest management in the Kiso Valley.

In this exhibition, Mr. Sanada focuses on the feeling of being "alive," and the tree rings carved into the trunks of the Kiso Hinoki serve as trajectories that prove the passage of time, while at the same time dynamically visualizing the workings of life. It is a drawn line that expresses how the landscape that emerges when it becomes a cross-section of life that gives a sense of history appears in the present day.

Approximately 20 new artwork will be exhibited, and throughout the exhibition period, live paintings will be hosted, bringing over 100 kg of Kiso Hinoki stumps to the gallery. 

We look forward to seeing you!
