Radium von Roentgenwerke AG のクロージング、移転するとか。
2008年に描かせてもらった天井の(当初はそこから壁面まで全て覆っていた)絵の見納めに来た。あの夏も暑くて、Tシャツ着てもいられないほど汗だくになりながら、神保町の仕事の後で馬喰横山まで夜な夜な通ったのを思い出した。池内さん、ひとまず、お世話になりました。
もう11年も前。いろいろと去来する思いがある。
Radium von Roentgenwerke AG is closing their gallery in Bakuro-cho, Tokyo.
In 2008, the gallery owner, Tsutomu Ikeuchi offered me to draw my mario-mandala on the walls and on the ceiling of the entrance floor of the gallery, for a group show. Wall parts had been painted white again after the show, but he kept the ceiling part for this 11 years. I'm from outside of "art" community, and it was a great encouragement that I felt by having my work taking a part of one of notable Japanese contemporary art galleries. It has been a great psychological support for me. Thank you Ikeuchi-san. I am very much look forward to your next action!! It was a nice party, and I am glad that I was there.
