■Exhibited works
三塚新司による「Slapstick」
[Work description]
スキーパトロール、ライフガード、自転車便メッセンジャーなどの職を経て、1999 年に東京藝術大学へ入学。在学中より子供番組の放送作家として映像関係の仕事に携わる。その後、雑誌編集者、テレビ局ディレクターを経て、2018 年より作品の発表を始め、コロナ禍を期に「疑問の疑問」「META 疑問」に基づいた作品として、巨大なバナナの皮の作品を制作する。
辻孝文による「Entrance of loop」
[Work description]
辻孝文はストリートアートとサブカルチャーの融合をテーマに新しいアートの方向性を模索しています。19歳の時にニューヨークのグラフティに触れ、それが彼のアートへの情熱の火を灯しました。彼は音楽の世界にも関わっており、特にテクノ、ハウス、ヒップホップとの交流を積極的に持ち、フライヤーデザインやライブペイントを手がけています。 彼の作品は、グラフティや音楽、現代アート、サブカルチャーなど、様々なジャンルの影響を受けています。それらをベースに、彼独自のスタイルでの絵画への昇華を試みています。特に、花のモチーフを用いて生命や性の隠喩をポップに表現する技法は注目に値します。 また、彼は「繰り返し」というテーマを探求し、日常のルーティンやアートのトレンドを独特の視点で描写しています。その作品には、鮮烈な記憶と希薄な記憶を異なる画像の質感で表現し、新しいインスピレーションを生み出しています。

【Comments by the artist】
墨はそれ自体生きていて常に同じ様がなく、その美しさ、難しさに翻弄され、そして同時
に強く惹かれる。 二度と同じ線や墨跡は生まれない。 一瞬の高まりや情熱や迷いも正直
にあらわれ、だからこそより深く表現できる墨の魅力。
福岡での熱いアートの高まりの 一助となれたら。 一筆啓上させていただきたく存じます
街を作る 今回で7回目の福岡の海、山、街をテーマに 愛着湧くこの町のインスピレーションを作品にします

【Comments by the artist】
Blue is the color of “possibility” that exists in the passage of things. Just like the blue of the sky, I believe that it is a color that holds a world that has yet to be seen on the other side. In this live painting, please enjoy the form of time created with blue.
9/20, 9/21, 9/22 10:00~
Kazuki Torigoe （Gallery MORYTA + Gallery Kazuki【Booth No.N29】）
【Comments by the artist】
An installation art by Kazuki Torigoe will be held at Fukuoka Airport with ART FAIR ASIA FUKUOKA 2023.
For this work, Kazuki Torigoe will transform his “”Memorized Records”” series of paintings (Fukuoka Wall Art Project 2021 Excellence Award), which produced and exhibited in Japan and abroad in recent years into a sculptural work symbolizing contemporariness and effectively transforming memory into material. He will create installation art that suggest a record of what people have been and what they will be in the future, which they have yet to see.
9/23 15:00~ , 18:00~
Sayoko Hirano（ASHIYAGARO kyoto【Booth No.S27】）
【Comments by the artist】
Airports are the starting points that connect people to each other and filled with endless dreams and hopes. I would like to express the sense of scale and excitement that comes with air travel, as one’s heart swells with anticipation for the unknown in my paintings.I look forward to meeting everyone in Fukuoka and Kyushu.

【Comments by the artist】
The ink itself is alive and never stays the same, and its beauty and difficulty are at the same time fascinating. No two lines or marks will ever be the same again. The momentary excitement, passion, and hesitation are also honestly expressed. The charm of ink is that it can express the momentary excitement, passion, and hesitation of the artist. I hope I can be some help to the growing passion of art in Fukuoka. I would like to express my gratitude.
Under the theme of “”Calligraphy, Rebirth, and Live,”” we will re-create in ink the things that once colored someone and bring them to life as a new work of art.
