この度、PARCELではグループ展「Perspectives」を開催いたします。
本展では、国内外から4名の作家を集め、絵画表現を通し独自の視点と多様な表現方法を通じて、現代社会における役割や視点を探求します。

実際に訪れたことのある風景を軽やかに捉え、その筆致とともに空気感や気配を止める小西真奈を初め、マニラを拠点にしながら、印刷物から流用したイメージとテキストを組み合わせ、現代社会がはらむ問題を反映しながら、地域の歴史的文脈や人々を想起させる作品のディナ・ガディア。シャギニ・ラトゥナ・ウーランは抽象画の身体的な捉え方や、その双方向的な可能性に興味を持ち、人が色を知覚することとその影響を観察することを通して平面に以外にも立体やインスタレーションとして作品に反映しています。森千裕は独自の都市観察を通して目にとまった風景やロゴマークなどに加え、子供の頃に描いた絵などを積層し、時間や記憶、もしくは価値や文脈を捉え直すように再構築し、絵画に止まることなくアウトプットしています。

それぞれ異なる方法で身の回りの事象や対象、自身に起きた出来事をモチーフにしており、成果物としての作品も異なります。目まぐるしく変化するこの混沌とした社会情勢の中、本展の作家を通して、改めて周囲にある物や人に目を向ける大切さを感じ取っていただけたら幸いです。

We are pleased to announce that PARCEL will be hosting a group exhibition titled “Perspectives.” This exhibition will feature four artists from both Japan and abroad, who each explore the roles and viewpoints in contemporary society through unique perspectives and diverse forms of expression in painting.

Syagini Ratna Wulan “43°C” 2020, Lacquer paint on shaped canvas 120 x 150cm

The exhibition will include works by Mana Konishi, who captures the landscapes she has visited with a light touch, conveying the atmosphere and presence through her brushstrokes. Dina Gadia, based in Manila, combines images and text sourced from printed materials to create works that reflect contemporary societal issues, evoking the historical context and people of the region. Syagini Ratna Wulan is interested in the physical approach to abstract painting and its interactive potential, incorporating her observations on how people perceive color into both two-dimensional and three-dimensional works, as well as installations. Chihiro Mori reinterprets and reconstructs landscapes, logos, and childhood drawings observed in her unique urban explorations, producing outputs that transcend mere painting to capture time, memory, value, and context.

Chihiro Mori “Monk’s Confusion” 2023, Watercolor, watercolor paper, acrylic, pencil 168 x 120 x 4cm

Each artist uses different methods to address the phenomena and subjects around them, as well as personal experiences, resulting in varied artworks. Amid the rapidly changing and chaotic social landscape, we hope that this exhibition will encourage visitors to once again appreciate the importance of paying attention to the objects and people around them through the perspectives of these artists.
