ROY TARO
BIOGRAPHY
1994年生まれ
拠点：日本、東京
Roy Taroは絵画と詩による制作を行っている。
作家が描くのは風景であり、太陽が緑色に輝く世界を描いている。
制作の過程で、既存の神話、身の回りの自然環境、地域文化をリサーチする。
早稲田大学法学部卒業。大学の最終年次に、ミクロネシアのヤップ島を訪れる。南の島で大自然の中で島民と暮らしたことをきっかけに、自分が進む道はアートだと考えるようになった。2017年から写真と詩による表現活動を始め、2018年に絵画を始める。
Born in 1994
From Tokyo, Japan
Roy Taro is portraying a world where Jade Sun shines.
His main media are painting and poetry.
What the artist expresses is the inner mythology within him,
as he crosses the boundary of the world with the fictional sun and local landscapes and cultures.
He graduated from Waseda University in Japan in 2016 with a major in law.When he was a senior, he visited Yap island in Micronesia. He lived as the local, saw the tropical wood where crabs walked on and fathoms of the blue ocean, the silver nights of the stars and the moon. Then, he realized that there is something like a valley between where he is and the world having the life breathing. He had felt being away from art. After graduation, he realized his path was art, started photography and writing in 2017, painting in 2018.
STATEMENT
翡翠の太陽が
世界のどこかで輝いている
私は絵画と詩を通して制作を行なっています。両者は共にイメージを探求する手法です。その境界線を時に横断することで、原初的な景色を描きたいと考えています。コンセプトの詩に登場する翡翠の太陽は、世界が誕生した最初の瞬間に卵から生まれてきたフィクショナルな太陽です。絵画の制作において、私は海や山、島にリサーチに行き景色を拾いあげます。人間が体験する風景はあらゆる瞬間が固有なものです。私は私自身にしか描けないイメージを描きたいと思います。ドローイングや写真によって拾いあげた景色は別の色彩を帯びます。それは、翡翠の太陽が輝く言語的な詩的世界と繋がっています。
Jade Sun is radiant,
somewhere in the sky
I create through both painting and poetry, as both serve as methods for exploring images. By occasionally crossing the boundary between the two, I seek to depict landscapes as they are the beginning of the world. The jade sun which appears in the conceptual poem, is a fictional sun that was born from the cosmo egg at the very moment the world came into being. In the process of creating my paintings, I visit and research landscapes by the sea, in the mountains, or on islands, gathering images of these sceneries. Every scene of landscape that each of us experiences is unique. I aim to paint an image that only I can capture. The landscapes gathered through drawing or photography could have a different hue. These are connected to the poetic, linguistic world with Jade Sun’s glow.
