What's New!!
 

     My Favorite Artist from my Home Town Osaka-Mr. Tatsuo Kamon came to see my show in December during my show at Contemporary Gallery Yuki-sis in Tokyo.

嘉門達夫さんが、12月の個展に来てくださいました。僕はアメリカのスタジオで25年以上過ごしていますが、嘉門達夫さんの歌が僕の住んでた昭和の日本を感じさせてくれるので、よく聞いていました。嘉門さんの歌の作風が日常の誰でも知ってるものを、違う角度から見て、これどない?と、聞くような作風が僕のそれと重なり、そこもうれしく思っていました。

The reason why I loved his song and listened for years while I lived in the US for the last 25 years is that the song he writes remind me of the days I grew up in Osaka, Town of Jokes and comedians. I felt similar to his way of making songs and my way of making sculptures by using everyday topics and look at them from another angle and questions them. So my Gallery director Yuki Terashima wrote a letter and send a press release and He and his wife came to see my show. They are nice people and understands art and they kindly spent more than an hour and half in the gallery!

    He saw I was making self portrait, and said, "Can you make me one?"

前回来廊された時に、 去年の僕の個展に、幸運にも嘉門さんが来てくださった事がご縁で、嘉門さんの著書「丘の上の綺羅星」に関する作品を作らせて頂きました。 この本は、嘉門さんのデビューのきっかけにもなった、「ヤンタン」のプロデューサー渡辺さんと、嘉門さんの若い時代のエピソードがおもしろおかしく、同時に暖かい、昭和の空気を感じる文章で描かれており、何度も人間臭さが身近に感じられ泣きました。 そんなこの本からこの作品は生まれました。

So I made a piece about him. I have read his two novels called "Okano Ueno Kiraboshi" and "Ta・ka・ku・ra". Both had filled with his back ground and his warm friendship with people who he spent time with. You need to read these books to know why I made those details with Jaguar, etc. He liked so much and he may use this piece for his next CD jacket!

細部には嘉門さんの鶴光師匠に、同級生高倉さんのカブ65に乗って弟子入りを願い出た16歳の達夫少年から、高倉さんと少年時代大阪万博で集めたバッジ、ラジオ番組ヤンタン恩師の渡辺さんにお礼に出世したら買ってあげます! と約束したジャガー、等 嘉門さんの去年出版された丘の上の綺羅星に描かれています。 https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/aw/s/ref=nb_sb_noss… この作品が、次の嘉門さんのCDジャケットに使われるかも? 嘉門さんのブログにも書いてあります。 http://ameblo.jp/kamontatsuo/entry-12180563389.html
