個展「SILVER」によせ
Gallery OUT of PLACEの奈良で個展を開催するのは、6年ぶりになる。
当時は「WM」(有無/ウム)シリーズという相反する2つの要素を同空間で見せる作品で、初めてトロトロに溶いた絵具を水平方向に置いたキャンバスに流し込み始めた頃だ。
その後に「動き・奥行き・光」に着目し、近年はそこに物質が重力により流れる時間を加える作品へと展開する。
今展の新作「SILVER」で多用している金属色は、物理的に光を受け反射する表面(図)としての色と、色と言いながらも色相環に入ることの出来ない非色彩・虚空として背景(地)の両方を併せ持つ。
また他の色材より粒子が大きく重力方向への動きが明確になる。
絵画の基本要素を分解し再構築、抽出することで「観る」ことの根源的な意味を提示出来ればと考えている。 文:中島麦 2022年8月

For almost ten years, Nakajima has been focusing on the materiality of acrylic paint
and has been presenting his unique abstract expressions without using any brushes.
In the last two years, under the series name 'multi luminous dropping’,
he has expressed the elements of movement, space, light and time using a methodology of directly dripping paint on the canvas.
This time, he will present the series 'SILVER', which further incorporates the concept of 'ground and figure'.

Prologue to the solo exhibition 'SILVER'.
It has been six years since I held a solo exhibition at Gallery OUT of PLACE, Nara.
At that time, I started pouring melted paint on a horizontal canvas for the first time in the "WM" (presence/absence) series, in which two contradictory elements are shown in the same space.
In recent years, I have developed into a series "Multi LD" in which time is added to the material flowing under the influence of gravity.
The metallic colours used extensively in my new work 'SILVER' in this exhibition have both a surface (figure) that physically receives and reflects light,
and a background (ground) as a non-colourful void that cannot be entered into the hue circle, even though it is called a colour.
Also, its particles are larger than those of other colour materials, and its movement in the direction of gravity is clearer.
By deconstructing, reconstructing and extracting the basic elements of painting, I hope to present the fundamental meaning of 'seeing’.
