The Republic of Serbia
Embassy in Japan and Painter Маријана Андрић (Marijana ANDJELIC)
先ほどセルビアの食のイベントの紹介をしましたが、今度は展示の紹介です。
食のイベントのブログはこちら。
Now that we’ve
written about the Serbian Cuisine Workshop, let’s see the exhibition hosted by
the Serbian Embassy in Japan in showroom 101-b of the East building.
Traditional folk art,
costumes and educational brochures are all readily available for perusal.
こちらはナイーヴ・アート。
This is Naïve Art.
ナイーヴとは素朴、純粋という意味で、日常のものから空想的なものまで幅広く題材とするアートだそうです。ナイーブ・アートで有名なのがコバチツァ村。村人がすべてアーティストなのだそうです！しかも彼らは本格的にアートを学んだ訳ではなく、ほぼ独学なのだとか！！
Naïve means pure, in a sense, and this
style of art generally depicts fanciful scenes from day-to-day life.
Kovačica Village is particularly famous for Naïve Art. The villagers are also the
artists!
And no one there has been
professionally trained; they are all self-taught!
There is also this original painting by artist Marijana ANDJELIC.
マリヤナさんはなんと、日本画でセルビアの風景を描くアーティスト！！
現在日本に留学中で、藝大の修士にて勉強されています。
She recreates Serbian landscapes in the style of
traditional Japanese paintings!
She is currently pursuing her Masters degree at the
National University of Fine Arts and Music in Japan.
三点出展されていますが、こちらの絵のタイトルは『昔話の流れで』。
モチーフは世界遺産に登録されているセルビアの修道院の一部（塔）です。
She has three works on
display, and this one is entitled “The Flow of Legend”.
The motif is the tower of a
monastery in Serbia, which is also a World Heritage Site.
It inspires a true swelling
of emotion when viewed in person, but does that translate effectively through
the pictures alone?
岩絵の具の粒子と、作品のマチエールに心が躍ります。
It’s thrilling to look upon
it and be able to decipher the materials that have been used; the natural mineral
pigments and particles.
下方に記されているのは、文字。セルビアの昔話が書かれています。
As your gaze lowers, you can
see characters written in the Serbian language: it’s an old Serbian legend.
そして、「国破れて山河あり」とでも言うように、下から力強く咲く、野菊のような花。
Just as it is said, “Though a country be
sundered, hills and rivers endure”, wild chrysanthemums rise up from below.
マリヤナさんの作品の素晴らしさ、岩絵の具（やモザイク）への情熱はブログでは伝えきれません！！在廊されている日も多いので、直接話すことをおすすめします。
The wonderment of the work (the natural
minerals used for pigmentation and the mosaic) just cannot be properly
communicated through the pictures here!
The artist herself is very often here, and
I strongly recommend coming to speak with her in person.
There are two other works by
two other Serbian artists also on display, though the artists themselves are
not in Japan.
こちらは写真作家、ミリツァ・ニコリッチさんの作品。セルビアの風景写真です。これは水に沈んだテニスコート。どの写真からもニコリッチさんのひたすら鋭い感性が伝わってきて、どきっとしてしまいます。
This is by photographer Milica NIKOLIC: a flooded tennis court in Serbia. It is shocking how sharply you can
feel the photographer’s acute sensibility.
こちらはミレナ・ミロサヴレェヴィッチさんの絵画。色彩・構成はシンプルながら、センスの高さが伺えます。部屋に飾ったら、ぐっと部屋のお洒落度が上がりそう。
This is a painting by artist
Milena MILOSAVLJEVIC with beautifully simple colors and composition, which very
effectively portrays its creator’s artistic sense.
Its presence significantly brings
up the standard of the entire room.
展示は９（火）まで。
The exhibition will continue
until Tuesday the 9th.
