Baba Keiichi (馬場敬一展) Exhibition at Gallery-403 (ギャラリー403) - 2011/12

This exhibition (2011/12/02-11) by Baba Keiichi (馬場敬一展) at Gallery-403 (ギャラリー403) consisted of a range of pictures that reminded me of the sixties for some reason... some combination of the art, the music, the artist himself, etc.  この展示会は、DM絵葉書のような絵と面白い音楽がなんだか、六十年代の雰囲気と思って...

岸清子 Exhibition at Gallery Mura (ギャラリー邨) - 2011/12

This exhibition (2011/12/06-10) by 岸清子 at Gallery Mura (ギャラリー邨) consisted of various types of pictures.  I was personally most interested in some pictures painted directly onto wood - a couple of which are shown here (from the promotional card.)  この展示会は、色々な絵があって、木造に直接描いた絵が(以下の絵は、DM絵葉書にある例)一番好きでした。

Negishi Tatsue (根岸達江) Exhibition at Nabis Gallery (なびす画廊) 2011/11

This nihonga exhibition (2011/11/14-19) by Negishi Tatsue (根岸達江) at Nabis Gallery (なびす画廊) consisted of paintings similar to the one featured on the promotional card.  Many of them evoked thoughts of mountain peaks and/or stormy oceans, but in asking the artist about it, she indicated that she had no particular actual object in mind when creating the images.  (Come to think of it - this artist had an exhibition last year at which I asked her the same question - no wonder she gave me an "again?" smile while explaining!)  この展示会は、DM絵葉書のような絵でした。 見てみると、山や激しい海を想像しましたが、画家に聞いてみると、特別な物を想像せずに書いたらしい。 (考えて見ると、この画家の去年の展示会に同じい台詞があって...)

Kamiwakida Naoko (上脇田直子) Exhibition at Gallery b.Tokyo (ギャラリービートウキョウ) 2011/11

This exhibition (2011/11/14-19) by Kamiwakida Naoko (上脇田直子) at Gallery b.Tokyo (ギャラリービートウキョウ) consisted of a set of very interesting paintings painted with various materials (tempera, nihonga, etc.) and conveying complicated feelings amazingly well.  The picture (below) that was featured on the promotional card I immediately recognized as a crowded train platform in both details and feeling.  I guessed Shinjuku and the artist said that was indeed the station she had in mind when painting it.  Each picture conveyed an interesting set of feelings.
この展示会は、テンペラと日本画などの絵でした。 それぞれの絵が面白い話+雰囲気があって、良い感激が強かった。 いつか、壁とお金があって、買いたいと思います。

This exhibition (2011/11/14-19) by Naono Nobuko (直野宣子) at Gallery Kobo (巷房) consisted of pictures similar to (and including) the ones visible in this photo.  I like the overall feeling of the pictures, as well as the color combinations.  この展示会は、以下の写真のような絵でした。 絵の雰囲気と色のコンビなどが好きです。

Higuchi Yasuko (樋口康子) Exhibition at Gallery La Mer (ギャラリー La Mer) 2011/11

This exhibition (2011/11/20-26) by Higuchi Yasuko (樋口康子) at Gallery La Mer (ギャラリー La Mer) consisted of oil paintings similar to the one featured on the promotional card.  I don't usually like combinations of blue and red, but this one seemed to work.  この展示会は、DM絵葉書のような絵でした。 普通、私は、青と赤のコンビは、「どうかなぁ...」と思うが、今回は、「いいですね」と思いました。

Nakamachi Masao (中町正男展) Exhibition at Gallery Tomo (ぎゃらりぃ朋) 2011/11

This exhibition (2011/11/19-26) by Nakamachi Masao (中町正男展) at Gallery Tomo (ぎゃらりぃ朋) consisted of hybrid pictures similar to the one featured on the promotional card, with old style pictures in the background combined with a nearly photographic detail picture of a modern woman in the foreground.  The combination of old-style stylized background pictures and modern woman foregrounds produces a three-dimensional effect.  この展示会は、DM絵葉書のようなハイブリッド絵でした。 昔絵スタイルのバックグラウンドとその前にモダーンな女性がいる - 立体的な感じでした。

江藤菊畝展 Exhibition at Ginza Ono Gallery-2 (小野画廊-2)

This exhibition (2011/11/07-12) by 江藤菊畝 at Ginza Ono Gallery-2 (小野画廊-2) consisted of pictures in the style of the one featured on the promotional card.  The meaning of the various pictures wasn't self-evident, but seemed clear and logical once the artist explained the concept/meaning of each picture.  この展示会は、DM絵葉書のような絵でした。 それぞれの絵の意味は、以外に複雑でした(画家の説明を聞くと分かる)。

服部朋子 Washi-Picture Exhibition (和紙顔彩) 2011/11

This washi-picture exhibition (和紙顔彩) by 服部朋子 (I forgot to check the pronunciation of the artist's name) consisted of pictures made with different colors of washi paper.  From a distance they look like standard pictures, but having a close look, you discover the colors are of the paper itself and not paint laid onto paper.  この和紙絵展示会は、DM絵葉書のような和紙顔彩でした。 結構面白かったです。

Majima Sachi (間嶋沙知) Gallery Shorin (ギャラリー松林) Installation 2011/11a

This installation by Majima Sachi (間嶋沙知) at Gallery Shorin (ギャラリー松林) in Room-505 (奥野ビル 505号室) consisted of hand-formed brass disks arranged on the floor, with some of them holding water that would reflect the lights as you looked at the installation while moving about the room. [Video]  このインストレーションは、写真のようなディスクと水 - 部屋を移動しながら、光の動きが面白かったです。 [動画]

Narumi Mineko (鳴海美年子) Exhibition at Nabis Gallery (なびす画廊) 2011/11

This exhibition/installation (2011/11/21-26) by Narumi Mineko (鳴海美年子) at Nabis Gallery (なびす画廊) was inspired by the artist's visit to a wooded island in southern Japan, and there really was a feeling of wandering through a forest as I walked around the room looking at the many surfaces of the artwork.  The pictures were made with a combination of coloring and burning.  [Exhibition Video]  この展示会/インストレーションは、以下の写真のような空間でした。 画家が、島の森の影響で作ったらしい。 確かにその感じでした. [動画]
