(2021年3月27日,香港)– 白石畫廊欣然呈獻日本藝術家矢柳剛個展《地球.家》。展覽為矢柳剛於香港第二次個展,將展出一系列油畫、絲網版畫、雕塑和混合媒體等作品,展示了藝術家多年積累週遊世界的旅程及其創作的堅持。
矢柳剛於日本北海道出生,近七十年來通過具異國情調的生動作品體現他對地球和生物的欣賞之情。作為牧場主人的兒子,矢柳剛的童年被馬匹包圍著成長。與動物和自然的互動充份影響了藝術家往後的旅程和藝術追求。從帶廣農高中畢業後,矢柳剛入讀星藥科大學,並於後來中途退學,於橫濱的美國駐軍基地從事自學並從事繪製工作。1957年,矢柳剛踏上了穿越南半球包括巴西、非洲和亞洲其他地區的週遊世界旅程。
自1954年以來,矢柳剛的作品一直在世界各地展出,並參加了聖保羅雙年展、巴黎雙年展等國際藝術博覽會。他的作品被收藏於重要私人和公共收藏,如北海道立帶廣藝術館、東京國立近代美術館、紐約現代藝術博物館、俄亥俄州辛辛那提美術館,紐約洛克菲勒基金會,聖保羅藝術博物館等。矢柳剛目前在日本生活及工作。
(27 March 2021, Hong Kong) Whitestone Gallery Hong Kong is pleased to present “Earth. Family”, by Japanese artist Go Yayanagi. The artist’s second solo exhibition in Hong Kong brings together paintings, screen prints, sculptures and mixed media works from Yayanagi’s archive, and reveals the full scope of Yayanagi’s artistic voyages as well as the persistence of his practice.
For nearly seven decades, the Hokkaido-born artist Go Yayanagi has been manifesting his appreciation for the earth and all-beings through his vivid canvasses of abundant exoticism. As the son of a rancher, Yayanagi grew up surrounded by horses. His everyday life interaction with animals and nature influenced Yayanagi’s future itinerary and artistic pursuit. After graduating from Obihiro Agricultural High School, Yayanagi briefly entered Hoshi Pharmaceutical College in Tokyo, only to leave college midway and become an autodidact painter at the US Army base in Yokohama. In 1957, Yayanagi embarked on a two-year journey through the Southern Hemisphere in Brazil, Africa and other places in Asia.
Since 1954, Yayanagi’s work has been exhibiting all over the world including the Biennale in São Paulo and Paris, etc. His work is entered into important private and public collections such as the Hokkaido Obihiro Museum of Art in Obihiro, The National Museum of Modern Art in Tokyo, The Museum of Modern Art in New York, Cincinnati Art Museum in Ohio, The Rockefeller Foundation in New York, and São Paulo Museum of Art in São Paulo, to name a few. The artist currently lives and works in Japan.
