Tomohiro Shibuki uses felt to create wraps of 3D objects of common items and create clothing works as well. One of Shibuki’s recent works is a series that use powdered rock to cover rocks. The works present the perspective of the integrity/continuity concealed within the individuality on the surface by taking matters people recognize subconsciously in daily life as symbols and “wrapping” and “covering” them to “equally shade off” objects so that it becomes possible to “extract the commonality.”
Shibuki’s hometown, Otaru City in Hokkaido, is all covered by snow in terms of people, building and nature. Shibuki says this scenery released from daily life, provided comfort, and enhanced his imaginations. Furthermore, he adds that transforming the items around him using felt was a way to observe and question himself.
In 2024, Shibuki won 3 awards at the International Fashion Contest ITS, in art, design, and fashion across different fields. This is the first exhibition here since the 1-month online-only exhibition in 2021. Please don’t miss this opportunity to visit and appreciate his works.
澁木智宏は、フェルトで身の回りのものを包む立体や衣装作品、また近作では石粉を用いて石などを覆っていくシリーズを制作し、日常の暮らしの中で人々が無意識に記号として認識している物事を、「包む」「覆う」ことで「等しくぼかし」、さらに「共通項を抽出」することによって表層の個別性の内に潜む一体性・連続性といった観点を提示しています。
澁木の故郷、北海道小樽市は冬になると人や建物、自然など全て雪で覆われ、その景色は彼に日常からの解放と安堵、そして想像の余地を与えたといい、さらに自身の手で行われる身の回りのフェルト化は自己を見つめ、問いただすことでもあると話します。
2024年には国際的ファッションコンテスト「ITS」にて3部門を受賞するなど、美術、デザイン、ファッションの領域を横断する澁木智宏、GALLERY TAGA 2では2021年に約1カ月のオンライン限定展覧会以降初のギャラリー空間での展示となります。この機会にぜひご高覧ください。
