Unofficial Open Studio Kyotoは、品川亮が日々制作を行っているアトリエを年に一度公開するイベントです。
本イベントは作品がうまれる制作現場をひらき、同時代を生きる人々と作家が直接対話できる場をつくることを目的としており、品川が画家としての活動の可能性を探る実践のひとつでもあります。
この取り組みの背景には、学生時代の留学時で出会ったオープンスタジオがあります。制作環境や作家との対話に触れた経験は、自身の制作を考える上で大きな学びとなりました。京都には豊かな文化や優れた美術作品があり、近年ではアートフェアや展覧会も充実しています。そのなかで、制作の現場に触れる機会が加わることで、作家と鑑賞者、そして地域との新たな関係が生まれ、京都がより豊かな芸術文化の土壌となることを願っています。
Unofficial Open Studio Kyoto is an annual event in which Ryo Shinagawa opens his studio—where he creates his art on a daily basis—to the public.
The event aims to open up the creative space where his works are born and to create a venue for direct dialogue between the artist and his contemporaries; it is one of the ways he explores the possibilities of his work as a painter.
The inspiration for this initiative comes from the open studios he encountered while studying abroad as a student. The experience of being exposed to the creative environment and engaging in dialogue with artists provided valuable insights for his own artistic practice. Kyoto boasts a rich culture and outstanding works of art, and in recent years, its art fairs and exhibitions have flourished. I hope that by adding opportunities to experience the creative process firsthand, new relationships will emerge between artists, viewers, and the local community, helping Kyoto become an even richer breeding ground for art and culture.
