鈴木博雄「雷神」（左）「風神」（右）

日本美術には『鳥獣人物戯画』や『風神雷神図屏風』のようにユーモラスな作品が数多く残されています。そのユーモアを中心に日本の美術史をたどっていくと、現在は漫画やアニメなどに強く影響を与えながら受け継がれているものの、日本画の世界では薄れつつあるものだと感じています。
日本画の技法・材料のみを伝統とする形式的なものに惑わされず、ユーモアも日本画の本来の精神と考え継承し、浮世を新たな視点で捉えた作品を描いていきたいと思っています。またそれが物事の本質を改めて考えるきっかけとなり、人々の心を豊かにできるものになればと願っています。

professional knowledge and skills of classical paintings attracts numerous art-lovers from
