HAGIWARA PROJECTSでは、1月11日(土)より野島良太の個展「Sheltie」を開催いたします。

 

野島は、日常の出来事や感性に触れる体験を、ドローイングに日々描きとめています。その中で生まれる記憶や感覚の断片は、絵画の中で形となり表現されます。

制作において野島は明確なゴールを設定せず、ドローイングのような柔軟な感覚を大切にしながら進めています。自身の記憶や感覚と向き合い、画面との対話を通じて選び取られる線や色、形、さらには消された跡までもが、作品に独自の奥行きと豊かさを与えています。そのプロセスを想像しながら作品を鑑賞する楽しさも、野島の絵画の大きな魅力のひとつです。

野島の絵画は、「何が描かれているか」という問いに縛られることなく、特定のテーマやメッセージに囚われない解放感を感じさせます。観る者に多様な解釈の余地を与えるこれらの作品は、そのおおらかな佇まいが観る者に爽やかな印象と心の広がりをもたらします。

HAGIWARA PROJECTS is pleased to present Ryota Nojima’s solo exhibition, “Sheltie,” starting Saturday, January 11. Nojima captures everyday occurrences and sensory experiences in his daily drawings. Fragments of memories and sensations born from this process take shape and find expression in his paintings.


In his creative process, Nojima avoids setting clear goals, instead embracing a flexible and intuitive approach akin to drawing. By engaging with his own memories and emotions and interacting with the canvas, he carefully selects lines, colors, and shapes. Even the traces of erasure contribute to the unique depth and richness of his works. Imagining this process adds another layer of enjoyment to experiencing Nojima’s paintings.


Rather than being bound by the question of “what is depicted,” Nojima’s works evoke a sense of liberation, unconfined by specific themes or messages. These paintings, which leave ample room for diverse interpretations, convey a sense of openness that brings viewers a refreshing impression and a sense of expansive possibilities.

 

Born in Tokyo in 1987, Ryota Nojima graduated in 2012 with a degree in oil painting from the Department of Painting at Musashino Art University. His major exhibitions include: Knuckleball, Gallery Chosun (2023, Seoul)(solo), JUNE ART FAIR (2023, Switzerland) (solo), Culture Day, Pending Paintings, HAGIWARA PROJECTS (2022, Tokyo) (solo), Paris Internationale (2022, France), 飄 (Hyo), OGUMAG+ (2022, Tokyo), Shared Kitchen, Fujimidai Tunnel (2021, Tokyo) (solo), ○○ life, SET Project Space Lewisham (2021, London), Invisible Strings in Spring, Devening Projects (2018, Chicago), TWS-emerging – E-kun and E-san Make Art, But It’s Not Art, TWS Shibuya (2015, Tokyo) (solo).
