More about Concept Fragile Art and Birth of NPB

Concept


My tendency of art was something with a common concept hidden under Japanese feeling which I identified as a love and compassion for fragility of the universe. With this, I called my concept “Fragile Art”. It was defined as a Japanese common distinguished feature.
My symbol motif of art work based on fragile art is Chicken or Flower.
You easy understand flower is fragile; but you will question “why is chicken fragile?”

Because, chicken is a metaphor of fragility for me as the following:

When I was a child, I brought up baby chicks and cared for the chicks took in light bulb for heater at chill winter night, observed all day at beautifully grown chickens. After all, a cat killed them hideously.
I observed chickens in India these days, and felt spirit of creature to it. While I studied their species history; chicken is a creature raised for of human purpose by zoo-technology, that kind of animal is fragile to disease.

Birth of NPB

I was inspired by a geometrically-shaped white floor tile in India in 2004, because I felt a kinship between Japanese geometrically-shaped paper paneled door and Indian tiled floor. Then I focused my attention on square white tiled floors and walls.

Now I believe that all creations, even artist’s activities are fragile but beautiful, so I came into action of drawing painting on bathroom walls and painting was erasing fleetingly.

That action was easy in the bathroom.

So I called my work New Painting in Bathroom, NPB for short.
I have drawn in the motif of fragile creations.
