Tomokazu Matsuyama “WESTBUND 2019”
We visited the international art fair “West Bund Art & Design” held in Shanghai.
At the booth of the exhibiting gallery KOTARO NUKAGA, works by the internationally acclaimed artist Tomokazu Matsuyama were presented in a solo-exhibition format.
West Bund Art & Design “KOTARO NUKAGA” booth
Tomokazu Matsuyama is a Japanese artist based in New York.
While drawing his motifs from fashion magazine models, interiors, and quotations from traditional Japanese painting and modern Western painting, and thus offering no originality of subject matter itself, he produces works of such a distinctive character that they can be recognized as Matsuyama’s at a single glance.
By “quoting” and “editing” existing originalities, he generates a new originality.
Installation view
His distinctive work titles are said to be drawn directly from song lyrics and applied to the works as they are.

The works were almost entirely sold. Large paintings were priced at around 8 million yen, and the sculpture at around 15 million yen — a marked increase from a few years ago. Even the smallest work in the image below carries a price of around 1.5 million yen.
Since being featured on the television program “Jonetsu Tairiku,” inquiries have been pouring in, and most of the buyers were Japanese (according to the gallerist).
At the venue, the works drew considerable attention from visitors, many of whom took photos on their smartphones. Attention from young women in particular seemed especially notable.
Anchored by a sculpture — unusual for Matsuyama — and composed alongside large abstract and figurative paintings, this exhibition offered a superb viewing environment.
A sculpture is currently in production for a public space at Shinjuku Station in Tokyo. This too is something to look forward to.
Shinjuku Station Public Art, Tokyo (2020)
An 8-meter-tall sculpture assembled from 316 pieces of stainless steel is set to emerge from a ground covered in floral patterns.
For this project, at Shinjuku Station — bustling with businesspeople and tourists — the artist will combine the traditional Japanese aesthetic of “kachou-fuugetsu” (the beauty of nature and the seasons) with the site.
Unveiled in the year of the “Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games,” this installation is set to become a new landmark of Tokyo.

Tomokazu Matsuyama “WESTBUND 2019”
상하이에서 개최된 국제 아트 페어 “West Bund Art & Design”을 방문했습니다.
출품 갤러리인 KOTARO NUKAGA에서는 국제적인 아티스트 Tomokazu Matsuyama의 작품이 개인전 형식으로 전시되어 있었습니다.
West Bund Art & Design “KOTARO NUKAGA” 부스
Tomokazu Matsuyama는 뉴욕에 거주하는 일본인 아티스트입니다.
패션지 모델이나 인테리어, 일본의 전통 회화 및 서양 근대 회화로부터의 인용 등, 그가 다루는 모티프 자체에는 오리지널리티가 없는 한편, 한눈에 마쓰야마 작품임을 알아볼 수 있는 독특한 작품을 발표해 오고 있습니다.
오리지널리티를 “인용”·”편집”함으로써 새로운 오리지널리티를 만들어낸다는 것입니다.
전시 풍경
특징적인 작품 제목은 곡의 가사에서 그대로 뽑아낸 것을 작품에 그대로 붙인 것처럼 지어져 있다고 합니다.

작품은 거의 완판. 대형 작품은 800만 엔, 조각 작품은 1500만 엔 정도의 가격대입니다. 수년 전보다 상당히 가격이 상승한 인상입니다. 아래 사진의 가장 작은 작품도 150만 엔 정도의 가격입니다.
TV 프로그램 “Jonetsu Tairiku”에서 방영된 이후 문의가 많이 접수되고 있는 듯하며, 구매자의 대부분은 일본인이었다고 합니다(갤러리스트의 이야기).
회장에서는 방문객들의 주목을 끌었으며, 스마트폰으로 사진을 찍는 관람객이 다수 눈에 띄었습니다. 특히 젊은 여성들로부터의 관심을 모으는 것 같았습니다.
Matsuyama로서는 드문 입체 작품을 중앙에 두고, 추상·구상의 대형 페인팅으로 구성된 본 전시는 훌륭한 감상 공간이었습니다.
현재 도쿄·Shinjuku Station이라는 공공 공간에서 조각 작품의 제작이 진행 중이라고 합니다. 이 또한 기대됩니다.
Shinjuku Station Public Art, Tokyo (2020)
316조각의 스테인리스를 조합한 높이 8m에 이르는 조각이, 꽃무늬로 채색된 지면 위에 출현할 예정.
이번에는 비즈니스맨과 관광객으로 붐비는 Shinjuku Station에, 자연과 계절감을 소중히 여기는 일본 전통의 “화조풍월(花鳥風月)”의 미의식을 결합한다고 합니다.
“Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games”의 해에 공개되는 이 인스톨레이션은 도쿄의 새로운 랜드마크가 될 것입니다.
