This is the first work in the [Drawing with Music] series of paintings that attempt to express the sounds of music as paintings. This work is a continuation of the "Sound Spirit Painting" Axanz - Sound Waves series. Yuriko was my pen name at the time. At the time, I was under the influence of artist On Kawahara. I used to put the date of completion on my works. I put the date and time of completion on each piece, as a way of asking the question, "What were you doing at this time? I put the meaning of "What were you doing at this time? Sound Spirit Painting" was born from my experience as follows: ...... ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ The night I was first taken ill by ambulance, in a room full of sleeping patients, I was shouting the following words as if singing: "Dento ga aru, yakanga aru, pan wo taberu, mizunomu arias ga aru" The next morning the diagnosis was just "lack of sleep," but these words stuck in my head. I desperately racked my brain to come up with my own conclusion: "These are homonyms with many meanings. Words that have the same sound emit sound waves just by thinking about them in your head, and they have the same effect on the world outside your skull. (Because they emit sound waves, radio waves that pass through synapses). This is the same as the ancient "spirit of speech," which affects the world "just by saying" and, by extension, "just by thinking. Dentou" is tradition, electric light "Kettle" is night time, kettle (water container) "Miz" is water, muse (god of art) "Pan" is bread to eat, Pan (faun), half-breed god "Arias" is early tomorrow, if you go to bed, the morning will come early, and "Arias" was considered heretical by ancient Christians, art sculpture He is also "Arias", a beautiful young man with a beautiful face in art sculpture. When I later held an exhibition of "watercolor paintings," I wondered if this experience of mine could be of use to others, and this [sound spirit painting] series was born.
