From Kirk Hopper Fine Art:
“イースト・リヴァー・パークに集まる人々、疾走する水上タクシーの白
波、散歩中だろうと湧き上がるイメージをスケッチブックに描く。イメー
ジの原泉はこれだけではない。ラオコーン、銀閣寺の夜、鳥獣戯画あり。
カラー、インク、ペンの渦巻く曲線、絵具の飛沫溢れるドローイングの
表面から生まれる感動空間を共有して欲しい。
While I’m taking a morning walk in the park along the East River in Dumbo, Brooklyn, my imagination arises by watching people who gathers there and white waves caused by water taxis speed along the river, then I draw in my small sketchbook. Not only these moments but also Laocoon, night of Silver Temple in Kyoto, Japan, the Animal scroll of twelfth century in Japan — etc. are my source of imagination. The space of impression born from the surface of drawings filled with whirling of curved lines of color, ink and pen and overflowing splash of paint —these are the things I want to share with you!
Ushio Shinohara
June 2022
Ushio Shinohara (born 1932, Tokyo), nicknamed “Gyu-chan”, is a Japanese Neo-Dadaist artist. His excited, bright, oversized work has exhibited at prestigious institutions internationally, including the Hara Museum of Contemporary Art; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris; the Guggenheim Museum Soho, New York; the Japan Society, New York; The National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo; Leo Castelli Gallery, New York; Galerie Oko, Berlin; The Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles; and The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Seoul, among others. Shinohara demonstrates a high-energy approach in every medium he employs. His sculptures, paintings, drawings, and sculptures depicting unique representations of everyday scenes from the eclectic urban landscape of New York City and the beaches of Bermuda and Miami. Working primarily in acrylic gouache and colored ink, with some collage elements, Shinohara’s cartoon-like compositions are infused with primary colors, a humorous spirit, and a violent painterly touch. The complexity of movement and impulsive nature that characterize Shinohara’s visual language reflect his unyielding creative energy.”
