動物 Animals

Early-stage investment company

作家は40年以上にもわたる画業の中で、様々な動物達を描いてきました。ありのままを映した姿から、本の挿絵、表紙の装飾絵のために描いてきたものまで多岐に富んでいます。また、時には劇団四季のポスターなども手がけています。そのため、まるで童話の世界に入ったかのような少し奇妙で見ていて楽しい、作品となっています。

丹念に描き込まれた猫の作品や、動物の作品、時には擬人化した動物の絵も描き、そのどれもが、モチーフへの丁寧な観察が感じ取れます。モチーフが拡大され切り取られているところからも、高橋常政がいかに素描に長けた画家であるかが分かります。さらに、西洋画における油画の創始者ヤンファンエイクのような細部への意識を感じる作品から、欧米のポスターのようなポップで軽やかな作品もあり、バラエティー豊かです。

 

The artist has painted a wide variety of animals over the course of more than 40 years of painting. They range from images that reflect their true nature to those that he has painted for book illustrations and decorative pictures for book covers. At times, he has also worked on posters for the Shiki Theatre Company. The result is a work that is a little strange, a little fun to look at, as if you have entered the world of fairy tales.

He paints meticulously drawn cats, animals, and sometimes anthropomorphic animals, all of which show his careful observation of the motifs. The way the motifs are enlarged and cropped shows how skilled a painter Tsunemasa Takahashi was at drawing. The variety of works in the exhibition is also rich, ranging from works that show an awareness of detail like those of Jan van Eyck, the founder of oil painting in Western art, to pop and light works that resemble Western posters.
