中津川 翔太(Nakatsugawa Shota)

Shota Nakatsugawa

Shota Nakatsugawa Fascinated by traditional crafts, he taught himself Japanese painting and succeeded in incorporating graffiti images. He incorporates silkscreen techniques, which are rare in the Japanese painting world, and produces works that can be used worldwide. By incorporating contemporary art into Japanese culture, where traditional crafts are being lost, he has gained tremendous support from all quarters for creating works that are appropriate for the current era. Recently, he has successfully exhibited at the Ueno Royal Museum, Kanazawa 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, and Nidai Museum of Art, and in October 2019, he also successfully exhibited at the Louvre in Paris.

I was drawn in by the art, of course, but more than anything by the stories behind it. The artworks I bought strongly reflected the lives and emotions of the artists, and when I learned that, the paintings became more than just decoration; they resonated with me deeply.

When I picked up a sake bottle with a print on it, I realized that it wasn't just a beautiful piece of art, but that the story it told added a new depth to the flavor of the sake. Every time I sipped, the message and emotion conveyed by the print resonated with me and moved me.

I felt as if I was drawn into the world the artist wanted to express, and was struck by the power of the work. The stories and messages contained in the works left a strong impression on me, and I was deeply moved, as if I had become a part of that world.

Artwork information

Dragon God's Child

In one corner of the gallery, a visitor stood in front of a work called "Child of the Dragon God" and remarked in deep fascination, "This painting is truly mystical, as if it were flowing with living energy."

"Child of the Dragon God" is a work that expresses power and mystery in a concrete way. Traces of thought and exploration can be seen lurking in the flow of colors and the extension of lines. Through its vivid expression, the work conveys a sense of breathing life, and gives the viewer not just a work of art, but the sensation of being in another world, of feeling a mighty power that transcends time and space.

The brush dances,
The colors of the spring breeze,
Living in a painting.
In the silence,
A drop of thought,
Falls onto the canvas.
As if weaving life,
Every stroke,
The world expands beyond time.
