yuuco's tekuteku diary

Brrrr! It' s still cold out there, even it seems getting cold more and more. The new year has already begun and we finished one month, and now it's February! I hope you 're enjoying your begging of this year as well. :)
On last weekend, I went to see an interesting exhibition which held by two talented artist, Shingo Akiyama and Takaki Miyatake.










Akiyama on the right, Miyatake on the left.
Akiyama is a painter who paints the world between abstract and realistic. Miyatake is a woodwork artist who makes really warmful art works and furnitures. They exhibited collaboration of their works, Akiyama paints and Miyatake makes it into wooden picture. Their works were awesome, completely new style! I've seen Akiyama's so often, his works are improving and everytime I see his works I find something new. Miyatake also showed renewed vintage furnitures as his works which make people feel relax. Old things have own gentle mood that new things never have, his sense and technique proved it nicely.



Looks something like animals. When I asked, Akiyama said 'These are not certain animals nor insects. It's creatures live in my world, between abstract and realistic.'






Also, there are so many Akiyama's drawings and sketches were there. He had been drawing all the time while I was there! He is one of the most active young artists in Takamatsu and another BIG art project which he gets involved will be coming soon. I'm looking forward to it! They recruit volunteers and they said only one day or a few days is ok. I'm going to apply it and hopefully I can be any help of them.







Thess wooden picture style was the first try to collaborate for them and I guess any first step is always not so easy but their two style were totaly matched and perfectly succeeded! :)
I did enjoy seeing their works and talking to them, and what's more, they had a special live at this Gallery on the last day of the exhibition. Of course I went to see it and had a great time!! I'll introduce about it on the next post soon. :))
