Dual-Perspective Painting by Yokko (Yoshihiko Tsutsumi - つつみよしひこ) - Y's Arts-101/508 - (2012/01)

I was lucky enough to visit Y's Arts just as Yokko (Yoshihiko Tsutsumi - つつみよしひこ) was about to pack up some intriguing Dual-Perspective Paintings to ship to an overseas venue.  The artist explained how he began painting on the back of the translucent material with the visualized perspective of standing in front of it, and then gradually brought his perspective around to the back and refocused on the work from that perspective.  The result of this dual-perspective process is basically 1) A painting viewed through the translucent material, 2) a painting viewed conventionally, and 3) a stained glass effect with back-lighting.  It was quite interesting to experience!  I give a similar explanation in this video, taken at the artist's studio.

Dual-Perspective Painting by Yokko

Y's Arts-101/508

以上のコンセプトは、僕の日本語力が足りないです...   ん...ま... 要するに画家が、絵を描きながら、立場が、絵の前から、後ろまでだんだん変えて、結果は、三つです： 1) 前: 材料を通して見る, 2) 後ろ: 直接絵の具を見る, 3) 光が絵を通ると、ステンドグラス見たいな感じ。 この現場の動画が数枚のDual-Perspective絵が見える（英語の説明入り）。

Installation by 下山直紀, 小林恭子, and 西村正徳 at Rashinban - (2012/01)

This installation (2012/01) by Shimoyama Naoki (下山直紀), Kobayashi Kyoko (小林恭子), and Nishimura Masanori (西村正徳) at Art Space Rashinban (アートスペース羅針盤) made interesting use of light and shadows.  I particularly liked the yellow structure with it's double pattern of moving light and shadow.  このインストレーションは、光と影を使って、結構面白かったです！

Ginza Fukushima Children's Exhibition - December 2011

The following photo (December 2011) shows just one of a series of pictures/sculptures that lined Chuo-Dori in Ginza, with pictures by children from Fukushima depicting their impressions and hopes regarding the 3/11 disaster.  It's a good idea, and the presentation of it was good as well.
