Ken Hamaguchi's third solo exhibition "Selected Old Stuff Vol.3" is currently being held at Megumi Ogita Gallery, located on the first basement floor of Ginza Otsuka Building, Ginza 2-chome.

hamag201811.JPG

The event will be held from Friday, September 7 to September 29 (Sat).

The opening day is from Tuesday to Saturday, and the time is from 11:00 to 19:00.

hamag201805.JPG

Hamaguchi seems to have been active mainly in illustrations after majoring in Japanese painting at university.

hamag201802.JPG

When you enter the venue, the first thing that surprises me is a detailed picture of ramen () and a collage of the nude photo surrounding it under the "Osutra (Kannon Sutra)" is written tightly. These are lined up in a series of 10 pieces.

The combination of overwhelming descriptive power, strength, and unrelated (expected) subject matter stirs various delusions.

hamag201804.JPG

This kind of introduction is posted on our gallery website.

"How much can you spend your life on" stupid pictures "or" stupid pictures "? Is a consistent theme as a writer, and a major feature of Hamaguchi's work is that the gap between drawn characters and motifs, Chiguhagusa, is sublimated into the work using his own technology. ]

You can also feel the skills and power of the author from the collection of animal record jackets.

hamag201807.JPG

In addition, the feeling of "Showa" felt from the whole venue is nostalgic and seems to invite nostalgia, and it is comfortable.

hamag201809.JPG

Indeed, please experience the "exhibition that understands meaningless meaning" by all means.

hamag201808.JPG

Godzilla's masterpiece, the culmination of signboard paintings on display, seems to be Hamaguchi's graduation work.

In addition, this time, we received your consent for photography in the gallery, and explained the works on display this time.

Lottery Dream Hall Lunch Time Concert I have listened to wonderful performances and songs.

[Silver] September 12, 2018 14:00

 Lottery Dream Hall (Tokyo) is located at 2-5-7 Kyobashi.

I've been going out several times to listen to performances and songs, and I've had a good time.

  

1) Wednesday, July 18 Lunchtime Classic Concert

 Natsuko Kanke (mezosoprano) & Ichiro Hasebe (cello).

 Progoram is

 Jordano: From the opera "Fedora" ~ This thought that I can't help but love ~

 Arne: To chloris, Belini: To please, J.S. Bach and Barcel's songs continue.

 Two songs, written by Shuntaro Tanikawa, "Petsunen" composed by Toru Takemitsu, and "What the Dead Man left behind" were also performed and sang.

  In a familiar movie music, Nino Rota's "God Father Love Theme" was fascinated by the sound of the cello added to the piano. "Theme of Romeo and Juliet" was a singer singing as a Juliet.

 Taliaferi's "Passiion" was also wonderful. 

  

2) Wednesday, July 25 Lunchtime Dream Concert

 This day was a dream concert, not classical.

 Satomi Fukuda (Latin vocal), Joji Sasaki (guitar), and Yoshiyuki Sakuma (percussion) were fascinated.

 First of all, my favorite song of Bossa Nova, "Garota de Ipanema (Daughter of Ipanema)" This song is a song of Bosanova composed in 1962 by Carlos Jobin, Antonio, Brazil. It's a fun song for a wonderful woman.

Next, the last dance began with the performance of (Japanese), 3. Ama Paula (Mexican), and 4. Kiensera (Spanish) percussion, and it was a light song that would make me want to step on the Mambo steps. 5.Sad whistle (Singing English and Portuguese with guitarists)

6.Aruba Isin. It was a wonderful guitar performance by Joji Sasaki. After this, there were many fun songs and performances.

  

 I'm looking forward to the future lunchtime concert.

 The flyer was printed with Radio Japan RADIO NIPPON 1422, so there is a public radio broadcast.

It was extremely hot in August, so I refrained from going out. 

For lunchtime concerts after September 19, please refer to the following URL. I'm looking forward to it.

 Previously, in the correspondent blog on January 27, 2011, I mentioned "Shojiro Sawada poetry monument" and "Goro Sogano Ie Uta Monument", but I don't think I did post photos of theater Inari Daimyojin at that time. The blog post for that day is as follows.
