A second home-run thanks to master draftsman, painter and illustrator   Glenn Vilppu and the Suidobata Fine Arts Academy.     A four-day intensive drawing seminar in Tokyo on figure drawing, and drawing the human head, Glenn Vilppu, gave an amazing class to students, professionals and teachers from both Japan and abroad.  Some students came as far as from Kyoto in order to attend.  This was Glenn Vilppu's second collaboration with Master Drawing Japan but his first (of hopefully many ) at the Suidobata Fine Arts Academy in Tokyo. "The people who developed animation, were taught by people who never studied animation."  - Glenn Vilppu Glenn Vilppu, who has taught drawing in the  animation industry for over 20 years (notably the Disney Animation Studio) made this note about the tools and terminologies that are used in animation which were carried over from classical painters and illustrators.  Essentially the aim the the same:  to create a sens...

  写真展「少女礼讃 . period 2018-2021 」 “なぜ、ひとりの少女をどこまでも撮り続けているのか？” 「少女礼讃(しょうじょらいさん)」は、 素性のわからないひとりの少女を、圧倒的な量と質で、 謎めいた関係性において撮影し続けている作品です。 --- 2018年(40才)の夏、ひとりの女性に出会った。 名のあるモデルでもなければ、撮影経験もないという。 はじめて撮影したときに、 「この子を、“少女”として撮り続けたい」 そう、直感的に思った。 撮りながら、気づき、考え続けることになるのだけれど、 この子には、“少女らしさ”が、眩いほどに詰まっている。 それらは、私たちが押しつける“理想の少女”だけでなく、 剥き出しになった”少女自身”の姿でもあるのだ。 どこまでも、ひとりの“少女”を撮り続けてゆく、撮り深めてゆくなかで、 私は、人を撮ることの深淵に、飛び込んでいきたい。 ---                     2018年7月から、2021年10月まで。約1,200日間の「少女礼讃」の写真を、                  時系列順に並べて1,200ページの写真集にまとめました。少女という記号性                 を撮影しているように見せてきましたが、実際は圧倒的な個性を撮影してい                 たのです。そして極めて私的な作品です。第三者にどう見せるかなんて考え                 ないようにして、少女と私のかけがえのない共作の記録を一冊にまとめまし                た。こんなポートレイト作品、もう二度と作れないかもしれない。それぐら     ...
