| Concept | セメントでできた3枚羽根が4段に重なっていて、全部の高さは2m。上空へと回転しながら伸びていくような形態で、植物の芽生えのような希望が期待される。作者は55年の第3回サンパウロ・ビエンナーレなどにも出品、50、60年代の日本の彫刻界をリードした人である。宇部市の現代日本彫刻展でも第1回、2回と連続出品して気をはいた。 Three wings made of cement form four layers to reach 2m in total height. The shape, rotating and extending towards the sky, kindles a hope in viewers’ heart, like burgeoning of a plant. The sculptor, a participant in the 3rd Sao Paulo Biennale in 1955, was a leading figure in the sculpture scene in 1950s and 1960s. He also consecutively joined the 1st and 2nd Contemporary Japanese Sculpture Exhibition in Ube City, showcasing his artistic vigor. |
