横川ヨコ展 ピクニック　 Yokoyokokawa Solo Exhibition

横川ヨコ初個展“ピクニック”を開催いたします。

横川ヨコが繰り広げる想像上の世界「フシギ共和国」。
ロールパンを頭にのせた子供。ステーキを口にくわえた子供。自慢の小物を手にしたコドモたち。
一見すると、フシギ共和国の住人は、わんぱく坊主や無邪気な子であったりするようです。
しかしながら、コドモたちは現代社会を見据えており、その目には社会の闇におびえた横川自身が重なり映るのです・・・。

独創的な「フシギ共和国」の約10点を展示いたします。
どうぞご高覧くださいますようお願い申し上げます。

The exhibition, yokoyokokawa 1st solo show ‘picnic’
Takeda Art Co. is pleased to hold Yokoyokokawa’s first solo exhibition titled “Picnic”.
We have selected ten strikingly attractive paintings which represent his distinctive arts from his fantasy world.
The fantasy world, which he calls “the Republic of Wonder”, appears to be cheerful and innocent.
In his world, in his paintings, children have mysterious eyes which are alarmed by fears for life in modern world and darkness of society.
These paintings are depicted based on his personal traumas that he has suffered from society in his life.
