SHINJI NAKABAの展示会
浅草橋の駅を少し歩くとたどり着くルーサイトギャラリーにて。
昭和の流行歌手の屋敷を改装した場所らしく、いつもより丁寧に靴をそろえてみたくなる。
こんなときに限ってハイテクスニーカーを履いていたりする自分を少し悔やみながら。
床が心地よく軋む音を楽しみたくなるようなギャラリーで
でも、できるだけ音を立てないようにそっと奥へ進むのは結構緊張していたから。
すると、奥から気さくな声
中場さんの奥さんが「あら、いらっしゃい！」
それっからはもう、はじめの緊張感が嘘のように楽しかった。
生け花ブローチの新作、今回のテーマである「黒蛇」のこと、アクリルを磨く大変さだとか
一つ一つ丁寧に中場さんが「これはねっ、、」て教えてくれて。
所謂、モノがモノを超えるってこういう事で
SHINJI NAKABAが身近な素材で作られているというコンセプトだけの問題ではなく
愛をもって手を加える人がいて、その愛が通じていく過程がとても愛おしいのだ
SHINJI NAKABA’s exhibition was held in Lucite Gallery, a little walk from Asakusa station.
The gallery was remodeled from a residence of a famous singer from the good old Japanese days.
I straightened my pair of high-tech sneakers at the front door with a little regret of wearing it
because I was feeling more polite than usual.
Enjoying the sound that the floor makes every step I take,
I move my feet softly feeling nervous towards what was waiting in the inner room.
Welcomed by Mrs. Nakaba’s friendly voice, all the tense that I had before disappeared.
Mr. Nakaba explained in detail about the new Ikebana broach, the theme of this exhibition “Black Snake”,
and the tough part on how to polish the acryl that are used for his accessories.
SHINJI NAKABA’s accessories are made from everyday material.
That is the main concept, but that is not the only reason that his work is spectacular.
His works exceed every season because he puts his love into it,
and the love passes on to us: the dearest pathway of love.
