Minamiguchi Seiji (南口清二) Exhibition at Gallery Musashi Ginza (銀座ギャラリームサシ) - (2012/06)

This exhibition (2012/06/18-24) by Minamiguchi Seiji (南口清二) at Gallery Musashi Ginza (銀座ギャラリームサシ) consisted of many interesting pictures.  The centerpiece of the exhibition was the (mainly pencil-drawn) picture featured on the promotional card.  It was a very large picture and it contained quite a lot of atmosphere in it.  For me, it represented - in a single picture - the constant motion and mystery of big-city life.  この展示会は、色々な面白い絵があって、以下の（DM絵葉書の絵）は、一番大きいと一番面白い絵でした。 何だか、一枚の絵で、都市の永久運動動きとミステリーが含めてありました。

Ogasawara Shin (小笠原森) Exhibition at Lixil Gallery - (2012/06)

This installation (2012/06/08-07/02) by Ogasawara Shin (小笠原森) at Lixil Gallery was an interesting combination of a ceramic structure and what looked to me like firewood.  In fact the ceramic part of the artwork seems like it could be used as a fairly practical structure for keeping firewood.  The combination of the visual display and the aroma from the wood was a nice combination.  (Video / 動画 [A] [B])

This exhibition (2012/07/07-25) by Kobori Reiko (小堀令子) at Gallery Kazuki (画廊香月) opens at the end of the first week of July.  The title is Homatsu-no-Uta (泡沫の時), and from talking with the artist (before the exhibition), the concept appears to be something along the lines of a transition point, with the condition of the earth being the theme.  この「泡沫の時」ペン画展示会は、7月の最初の方からオープンします。  [Video/動画]

This exhibition (2012/06/11-17) by Okuyama Kanako (奥山加奈子) at Shibata Etsuko Gallery (柴田悦子画廊) consisted of various pictures of a large variety of flowers.  Sitting in the middle of the gallery, I felt as though I were in a springtime garden.  It all seemed quite natural and relaxing.  (This was apparently this artist's first exhibition - I hope she has many more!)  この展示会は、色々な花の絵でした。 部屋の真ん中で見回ると、春の庭にいる感じでした。 （この画家の初展示らしい。 次の展示も、お楽しみにしてます。）

Shimamura Munemitsu (島村宗充) Installation at Gallery Hinoki (ギャラリー檜) - (2012/06)

This installation (2012/06/18-23) by Shimamura Munemitsu (島村宗充) at Gallery Hinoki (ギャラリー檜) looked like the images below.  For some reason, when I walked into the room, the various poles looked like weapons in racks to me - and I had an urge (suppressed naturally!) to choose/grab a pole and start swinging it about.  (Video / 動画 [A] [B])

島村宗充展 / ギャラリー檜

When I told the artist that the poles reminded me of kendo, he laughed and said that people had seen a variety of things in the objects, but I was the first one to suggest kendo.  この展示会は、上の写真のようなインストレーションでした。 なぜか、部屋に入ってからすぐ、並んだ棒が何だか、武器見たいな感じしてから、一本を取って振り回して見たいと思って...  作品を作ったアーティストにそう言うと笑って、剣道で見えたのは、私だけらしい。

This exhibition (2012/06/18-23) by Noda Tamotsu (野田保) at Art Space Rashinban (アートスペース羅針盤) consisted of paintings in the style you can see in the second photo below.  This artist has also published a book entitled "Dai-san-no-Jinsei" (第三の人生) about how beyond the "Life begins at 50" expression, people can reinvent themselves after retirement.

野田保展 / アートスペース羅針盤

この展示会は、上の写真のような絵でした。 画家が、「第三の人生」と言う本も書いてある。 とてもいいコンセプトと思いながら、私自身は、倒れるまで第一人生な気がして....
   The artist said he began painting after retirement and thinks people should take up new pursuits after exiting the regular work world.  It's a great idea I think, but for me personally, I couldn't help but think it probably won't apply.  I've pursued photography for decades  now - always struggling to pay the bills, and probably I'll continue struggling, never getting to a second stage, never mind third, before I keel over....

杉山康典展 / K's Gallery

I spoke with the artist a little about his paintings and asked if they represented something or were strictly abstract, and he said they were abstract - to the point where when he sees something in one of his paintings that reminds him of some real object, he puts it out of his mind and sometimes alters the picture to stop it from going in that direction.
