シキノネ屋富祖、浦添
2024年10月のCraft Elixirsイベントにコラボさせていただいたおかげで、浦添のシキノネ屋富祖というお店で展示を開催しました。
Craft Elixirsは、ノンアル健康的なコクテル、ライブ音楽とアートが楽しめる毎月開催されるイベントです。
バーで展示するの初めてなので、夜中に営業するお店の雰囲気に合う作品を選ぶのは楽しかったです！バーで踊ったり、お酒を飲んだりするお客さんの仲間になる絵画たち、どの作品がいいかな♩
ナイトライフを楽しめそうで、パーティに参加したそうな作品を展示したいと思いました。
バーの雰囲気や薄暗い所に憂鬱な絵画が似合うと感じました。もちろん、夜中に咲くサガリバナの花も、このパーティーに参加するべきですね！ ラフなコンクリートの壁に飾ったサワフジちゃんがめっちゃかっこいいですね！
It was so fun to see my ocean paintings under the blue disco light! It felt like there is a party under the sea, and my babiea are the part of it! I am so happy for them, that they can be in this environment for one month, witnessing a lot of happy moments, feeling the energy of the party. And I hope everyone can feel the energy of these paintings as well. I think they are great party decorations!
Not just my paintings, but I too felt like the part of the party! I had my merch table, I prepared some new goods, and mistery bags with some suprises. I was so happy that all the guests of the event seem to like the art, and were interested in my inspirations. I had some pleasant chats about the okinawan nature with everyone who came to my table, I was honored to tell everyone about the inspiration behind their favourite paintings and I was happy to tell everone about all the friends I made in nature!
That is the purpose of my work! The purpose of my life!
To introduce you all the friends I made in nature.
To tell you all the stories they have been telling me.
And I am grateful for all the oppurtunities I get to do so!
Aaaand whenever I felt tired from all the talking, I could go to the bar, freshen up with some great energy boost coctails! My favourite was the Dinosaur Potion!
It was such a delightful event, such a great experience, I had a great time meeting all kinds of interesting people!
I have left some merch under the Sagaribana tree, for all you folks who can stop by in October to Shikina Yasufo to have a drink with my buddies, cheers to the amazing nature of Okinawa!!!
I wanna give a shoutout to two special paintings, that I haven’t exhibited in Okinawa…
I painted them before I moved here. They are from those times when my body was still far away, but my heart was already captured by the ocean…
One of them represents the freedom that I felt in the ocean, and the other one connects to an experience of being trapped. I felt these two feelings on the same day at Okinawa. This is a story for an other time...perhaps I can tell you about it sipping a Dinosaur Potion at Shikinone.
Are you interested?
I will tell you about it soon...
つづく…
