Comment
I express the poetry of everyday life using traditional metalworking techniques such as forging, chasing, and casting. The colors in my works are also achieved through the chemical reactions of metals. My works are inspired by the small worlds around us, such as insects and small animals. By reconstructing these motifs based on landscapes and sensations from my memories, I aim to create works that evoke a sense of nostalgia within realistic expressions.
As a child, I was completely absorbed in observing and discovering the small worlds around me. I hope my works can serve as a reminder of the sensations we forget in our busy adult lives.

Comment
近年より米村が取り組んでいる新シリーズ、「MEISAI」。
シリーズの特徴といえる様々な色に埋もれる人物の姿は、世の中に溢れる情報や価値観に翻弄されながら、「周囲に埋もれる不安感」と「周囲に埋もれることで得られる安心感」のアンビバレンスを抱える現代人を表現しています。
MEISAIシリーズは作品そのものの「物理的な存在感の強さ」に意識を置いたシリーズでもあり、表面の凹凸や、意識的に平滑にしたようなマチエル、絵具が持つとろみのある質感などを際立たせることで、描かれたものとはまた別のベクトルでも美しさを見出しています。

Comment
In recent years, Yonemura has been working on a new series called “MEISAI.” The series features figures buried in various colors, representing modern individuals who are overwhelmed by the abundance of information and values in the world. This series expresses the ambivalence of “anxiety about being buried in the surroundings” and “a sense of security gained by being buried in the surroundings.”
The MEISAI series also focuses on the “strong physical presence” of the artwork itself. By emphasizing the surface’s unevenness, the deliberately smooth textures, and the viscous quality of the paint, the series finds beauty in a different vector from what is depicted.

During a period of focusing on treatment for a chronic illness, I became fascinated by the interplay of the subtle monochrome gradations and the scratches on the surface of the film created by the X-rays taken every morning. This led to an interest in experimental analog photography.

I became engrossed in visually solving problems based on visual ideas derived from X-rays and other sources that served as starting points. Although most of these ideas could not be realized as ideally envisioned, I often encountered unexpected expressions of paint on the screen during the creation process. By accepting these, a new cycle of creation emerged.

My approach involves faithfully representing physically existing objects while simultaneously attempting to distance them by altering colors, textures, and the focus of the painting, or by incorporating semi-transparent layers. This interaction between the two approaches forms semi-abstract images. This not only captivates me but also serves as markers that evoke fragments of memories, moods, sensations, and recognizable elements that viewers can individually understand and relate to.

Comment
I became fascinated with pro wrestling during high school and, after graduating from university, worked as a reporter for Weekly Pro Wrestling until 2021. I was responsible for coverage and art projects, and designed a commemorative T-shirt for the magazine’s 40th anniversary project. Pro wrestling and martial arts are surrounded by spectators in a 360-degree ring, and the view differs depending on the seat. Each seat and perspective has its own beauty and intensity of the fight. By expressing these diverse perspectives using Cubist techniques, I aim to depict the charm of pro wrestling and martial arts that cannot be conveyed through photos or videos.

Cubism, represented by artists like Picasso and Braque, is an old technique that captures the shape of a subject from various angles on a single canvas. By combining this with pro wrestling, and sometimes incorporating cheers and sounds, I aim to infuse my love for pro wrestling into the entire canvas.

Comment
I express the poetry of everyday life using traditional metalworking techniques such as forging, chasing, and casting. The colors in my works are also achieved through the chemical reactions of metals. My works are inspired by the small worlds around us, such as insects and small animals. By reconstructing these motifs based on landscapes and sensations from my memories, I aim to create works that evoke a sense of nostalgia within realistic expressions.
As a child, I was completely absorbed in observing and discovering the small worlds around me. I hope my works can serve as a reminder of the sensations we forget in our busy adult lives.

Comment
I became fascinated with pro wrestling during high school and, after graduating from university, worked as a reporter for Weekly Pro Wrestling until 2021. I was responsible for coverage and art projects, and designed a commemorative T-shirt for the magazine’s 40th anniversary project. Pro wrestling and martial arts are surrounded by spectators in a 360-degree ring, and the view differs depending on the seat. Each seat and perspective has its own beauty and intensity of the fight. By expressing these diverse perspectives using Cubist techniques, I aim to depict the charm of pro wrestling and martial arts that cannot be conveyed through photos or videos.

Cubism, represented by artists like Picasso and Braque, is an old technique that captures the shape of a subject from various angles on a single canvas. By combining this with pro wrestling, and sometimes incorporating cheers and sounds, I aim to infuse my love for pro wrestling into the entire canvas.
