John Lurie "You Are Here"
This event has ended.
At Watari-um, The Watari Museum of Contemporary Art
Media: Painting, Drawing
When he developed an intractable neurological illness in the late 90's, John Lurie, no longer able to perform or act, turned to painting as a means of self-expression.
In today's irrational world, his canvases deliver straightforward messages detached from money, fame, politics and the environment.

彼の絵を見ていると、何故かつらいことや不条理なことが多い世の中だけど、きっといつの日にか、お金や名声、政治や経済、環境問題といった視点ではない不思議な風景や事柄に出会えると信じてみたくなる。
