その偉大な絵画運動から半世紀あまりが経った今、“抽象の表現性には限界があり、既にその可能性は今までの作家によってほぼ試みつくされてしまった?”という言葉が囁かれ、現代日本のアートシーンをみても抽象絵画は影を潜める一方で具象表現がもてはやされ、物語性の強い作品やアニメーション風の作品が溢れています。本展では、このような昨今の日本のアートシーンの中で、改めて抽象という表現法の持つ意味を問い直し、究極的には、芸術とは何か絵画とは何かという根源的な意味を探求します。
具象全盛と呼ばれる中、あえて抽象表現を貫き通し、抽象表現のなかに新しい可能性を求めて制作を続ける作家を取り上げ弊画廊選抜による抽象作家(4名を予定)たちの多種多様な抽象表現スタイルの中に現代における抽象絵画の持つ意味と可能性を再考します。
本展を通じて評価が高かったアーティストには、翌年アートポイントでの完全企画展、プロデュース展及び海外展の出品候補の対象となります。
Abstract expression was born in the early 20th century in Europe, and Kandinsky is generally considered to be the founder of abstract painting, which is said to have occurred around 1910. Abstraction then reached its zenith in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s. Greenberg’s argument that “by stripping away the extraneous elements from painting and reducing it to the necessary and fundamental elements, modernism becomes the final art form” caused a stir in the art world, as he defended Abstract Expressionism at the time.
Now, a little more than half a century after that great painting movement, “Is there a limit to the expressiveness of abstraction, and has its potential already been largely attempted by previous artists?” The Japanese art scene today is full of narrative and animation-like works, while abstract paintings are lurking in the background, and figurative expression is much celebrated.
In this exhibition, we will re-examine the meaning of abstraction as a method of expression in the current Japanese art scene and ultimately explore the fundamental meaning of what art and painting are. In the midst of the so-called “Figurative Age”, we will focus on the artists who have been pursuing new possibilities in abstract expression and rethink the meaning and possibility of abstract painting in the various styles of abstract expression of selected abstract artists.
The artists who receive high praise through this exhibition will be considered for the following year’s full exhibition at ART POINT as well as other international exhibitions.
