Art work is just art work.

These works are what I made recently, which I called 'Painting series'. I had talked about society in my works before making these works, but I have tried to talk about art and beauty through these works recently with public who would watch my works.

For explaining why I made these works, I need to talk about my earlier work 'Births' which I put above. Actually my works 'Painting series' are starting from argument about my earlier work 'Births' with my friend. I made this work for visual art competition, I needed to talk about 'Love'. And I just bought figure toys to express my idea as my work.

My friend' argument point is very simple. She just told me that 'You need reason to buy that toy even you have idea to make.'. That conversation is just like below.

My friend : So did you have reason to buy that figure toy?

Me : No, I was just walking around market to find something for expressing my idea. And I just found that figure toys.

My friend : You missed point for your art work, you should have reason to buy that toys even you have a idea for art work.

Me : What? So do you have reason to buy acrylic colour and canvas to paint?

My friend : That's different!

This conversation is reason why I started to make my recent works 'Paintings.'

Did I really need reason to use toy?

I was very confused, because it was just she and me in that place. And we could not get any result of that argument at that time. However it didn't take long to make sure that I wasn't wrong. And I thought this argument point could be very good thing to ask people with my work. So I made a decision to use her idea 'Painting stuffs such as acrylic colour and canvas do not need reason to use for art'. So I can use that painting stuff for my art without any reasons same as her thought. This was just kind of making a caricature her idea.

So this is the first plan, called 'Sculpture series'. I was just thinking about sequencing canvases and just calling them sculpture. And that picture above is my plan of 'Sculpture 1&2', but I could not make it due to budget problem.

And theses are 'Painting 1&2'. My idea what I got from conversation had been developed bit, and it was talking about 'any medium and matter of art work is just art work'. So my work becomes bit more about talking 'what is painting?'.

The idea of these work is very simple. I just painted on canvas with glasses cases just like painters choose acrylic colour or oil colour to paint. This is my thinking of 'idea of painting'. Such as painting and sculpture are just sort of category to divide art works bit more easy way. There is noting to be better and worse between all art works.

And these 'Moving painting series' are made with bit more developed idea of mine. Just same question as before, which is 'What is painting?'. These work made me believed in my decision and idea strongly. Painting is not just painted by acrylic and water colour on canvas. It could be everything even just electronic screen with moving graphic. And that is just one of art work.
