Rei Matsuzawa Web Solo Exhibition: French Flowers, Birds, Wind and Moon

I am approaching the second half of my life. My relationship with Japan painting will also be longer. As a painter, I have made many attempts and adventurous paintings, so I was conscious of easy-to-understand Japan paintings in this solo exhibition. Japan-style art materials are very difficult to handle, and it seems simple to depict the beauty of the natural world realistically, but it is not. The simpler it is, the more difficult it is, and I think my expression is to convey the beauty of rock paint to everyone as it is. It is an honor if what I create through my eyes and hands is a picture that sticks in my heart and makes me want to see it again. ●Rei MatsuzawaBy verbalizing the production process, we can finish the production efficiently without hesitation from start to finish. Japan painting is one of the most difficult paintings, and since I am working and presenting it in France, I will explain the general flow in French, and even though I can't do it in Japanese, for some reason I chose France and only conveyed the process of Japan painting in French full of accent language. I think that the spirituality of painting and what it wants to convey must be conveyed to French people with a high sense of beauty. I also did oil painting, but perhaps because I had learned calligraphy when I was young, I like the contact between paper and ink, the soft feel of water, and the world of free colors, which is what I like about Japan painting.

制作工程を言語化する事で最初から終わりまでを迷いなく、効率よく制作を終える事ができる様になりました。
日本画は絵画の中でも難しく、私はそれをフランスで制作発表しているのでフランス語で大体の流れを説明すると言う、日本語でもままならないのに何故かこの地フランスを選びなまりだらけのフランス語で日本画の工程だけは伝えています。
絵のもつ精神性や伝えたい事は美意識の高いフランス人にきっと伝わっている事と思います。
私は油絵もやりましたが、幼い頃に書道を習っていた事もあったからか、紙と墨の接触、水性の柔らかい感触が好きで、それに加え自由な色彩の世界、それが私が日本画を好きな所です。
