Hideyuki Nagasawa
Hideyuki Nagasawa was born in Saitama Prefecture in 1947. After graduating from Musashino Art University in 1972, he worked in film production and other fields before becoming active as an artist in earnest in 1979. He also taught and nurtured young artists at the Department of Oil Painting at Musashino Art University until 2018 (currently, he is a professor emeritus at the university), and has been teaching students at Kobe Design University as a visiting professor since 2018.
In his early works, the "Landscape XX" series, he pursued "landscapes" in which people can exist, and has continued to present work that raises issues such as the mechanism of seeing (megamill) and the size and perspective of the depicted objects.
Since 2000, he has been working on a series of paintings with dots, in which he tries to answer the primordial question of how depth is created on a two-dimensional plane. On the other hand, his "Every Figure in a Painting is a Ghost" exhibition presented at the gallery in 2014, the "Ghost Classroom" exhibition of drawings and texts, and the "Ghosts of the Future" exhibition in 2017 have raised issues of time and memory as well as space by overlaying the depth of painting on the interpretation of vision different from that of humans that images have.
The "Big Godzilla, Little Godzilla" exhibition, a collaboration with students that began with a reverence for the 1954 movie "Godzilla," was exhibited at several museums and drew a great response, as an exhibition that combined serious issues with the joy of production, linking the exposure to the U.S. nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll and the Fukushima nuclear accident. The exhibition was exhibited at several museums and drew a great response. The "Dialogue 'When I was Born'" project, which has been ongoing since 2015, was created through dialogue with residents of Amami and Kobe, and the form of the exhibition using drawings and words is also connected to the current exhibition.
In the midst of the announcement of these projects, the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, and Nagasawa followed the dreams he had at the time with drawings and text, which he began to publish on the web as "C Communique" in mid-March 2020. The "C" in "C Communique," which is also the title of the exhibition, is the "C" in COVID-19 and CORONA, and "C Communique" can be described as "communication that does not result in communication" with an invisible partner, including an unknown virus. In this exhibition, more than 140 drawings created for "C Communique" will be exhibited, which were photographed from original drawings, modified, and printed out with pigment ink.
