| Concept | 野外彫刻の草創期のとまどいと工夫を感じさせる作品で、素材もセメント。巨大さへの願望と、空間への伸びやかな抽象性を謳歌したい欲求がいやというほど感じられるものの、どこかに具象性（人体像）を残しておきたい躊躇ぶりもうかがえる。作者は新制作協会の会員で、当時国際具象派展、今日の新人展、現代日本美術展などで注目の新進だった。 The work, made of cement, reminds us of the confusions and ingenious efforts in the early days of open-air sculptures. While the desire for enormousness and unrestrained abstractiveness to exploit the spatial liberty are excessively present, one can sense an artistic hesitation – a desire to retain the element of representationalism (the shape of human body). The sculptor was a Shinseisaku Society member and was a prominent emerging artist in the International Representationalism Exhibition, today’s Emerging Artist Exhibition, Contemporary Art Exhibition of Japan, etc. |
