"What, this is!"
Young trees walnut's impersonate Taro Okamoto of performance

Currently in the Taro Okamoto Memorial Museum (Aoyama), "Taro Okamoto of" living creatures "" Exhibition is being held.
We are drawn various "creatures" we Okamoto work. Is it the animals exist on the earth, or whether fictional animals, or Hata also human beings to .... As perfectly round centerpiece in a large face is mimesis, feel the power and vitality, such as those complained of something to us.

Among them, the team mark of Buffalo Kintetsu Taro Okamoto was designed to be missed! At the time, Kintetsu was the lowest hope that will be a strong team as the "Buffalo", which was produced. Find may be the process leading up to that mark.

By Frari and that stop by here when you're tired at work, such as get a healthy something, such a place.

In addition Kintetsu In facing the team mark of Buffalo are on display, is a live performance of the special exhibition, "young trees walnut" your face "" is performed. Sapling's latest work, which won the grand prize of the 12th Taro Okamoto Arts Award last year. For more details,This directionPlease give the column.
Sapling's referred to as a "communication is not good with people", although the time of coverage also words were fewer, once the sudden change in the moment that contains the performance of the switch. Like Taro Okamoto of young trees's like if you had evocation gesture, just overwhelmed by the utterance like growl.
The audience reflected on the half mirror, young tree's impersonate Taro Okamoto, the exhibition is being Taro Okamoto photos, exhibited works of "living creatures" exhibition, visitors who further to appreciate it ..., to mirror the "face" is one of a variety of people overlap. While young trees Mr. feel the scene to change one after another on the mirror, and repeat the paint to Taro Okamoto mask of self-made. Almost as if I met the real Taro Okamoto, learn even such illusion.
While cast a message to viewers young tree's age of 24 for this work as "I want you to think of as" What I face? ' ", While repainted one after another the color of the mask ask yourself as" yourself What' heck? " that it continues to. Mr. titles young trees? And ask if a "part-time workers". That it is not aware of itself and artists, the best of young tree's. I want to great expectations for future success.
