Hideaki Kawashima
After he graduating from university, the artist entered Buddhism priesthood practice. While in university, he studied Yukio Mishima's novels and the toughened style of his early works was perhaps influenced by this subject. His style has gradually changed to fairy style of , comical Buddha and boys and girls have appeared to Kawashima's paintings. The audience can no longer distinguish the men and women in his paintings. These characters in his paintings seem to be possessed by someone and their emphatic expressions are abstracted in his paintings. The artist himself describes his paintings as being "like painting self-portrait".
The artist states the motive of his paintings is that "vague anxiety for finding out self-identity". We all experience this anxiety ourselves. For instance, when you see the reflection of yourself for the window in the trains (according to what the writer experienced), you realize your uncertainty of your being. The artist faces this uncertainty of being calmly and sublimes for his paintings.
The title of this exhibition perhaps is not the summarization where the artist has reached but rather changing time as on his day-to-day basis.
