To "Sawarabi" who does art activities at Tomo's social welfare corporation "Sojukai (Fukuyama Roppo Gakuen)". I've borrowed works before, but this is my first time at Rokupo Gakuen.
There are not only artists who have already become famous, but also a lot of people who have started to create new works. A work that collages cloth on a painting, the act of collecting newspaper advertisements, a person who writes in a diary or a favorite notebook, and a person who draws points by striking a brush like a percussion with paint. It's hard to tell if it's a reflection of the characteristics, but there are a lot of exciting and interesting things.
The architecture of the facility is well-ventilated, moderately disjointed, and the design that gives a sense of freedom without being oppressive is wonderful. Before I knew it, bowling had started with a plastic bottle as a pin.
And when I wanted to go to Hiroshima, I went to the Tomonotsu Museum in Tomonoura. A 150-year-old storehouse in Tomonoura, a town where the good old days still remain, has been reborn as a museum with a wonderful renovation.
The exhibition of artists from Rokupo Gakuen was worth seeing! (HN)
It was Shinji Hirano's work "Ken Shimura" that made me fall in love with this art world. Mr. Shimura dressed as an idiot was drawn energetically and mysteriously, and I fell in love at first sight. When I told him that I wanted to buy it, he said "70,000 yen". Considering the size of about 50, it is inexpensive. Moreover, the forehead fee is 50,000 yen. At that time, my curiosity became full of curiosity, and I started activities to support artists with disabilities and art. That's why you've known Mr. Roppo for over 20 years.
The oldest writer I know is Hiroe Tachibana. A little granny was drawing while whispering something that sounded like a spell or a hum or a soliloquy. According to the support staff, the words that were bullied as a child were mixed in. The pain seems to be transformed into a nice picture, like a hieroglyph like a symbol. When you look up and meet your eyes, you smile. The second time I met him, he ran up to me and held my hand. Tachibana Taka's work is also shining in our living room. (CA)
Mr. Fukuyama Roppou Gakuen, who often asked me about Mr. Takashi Tachibana, who is in the collection of MOMA in New York, and Mr. Hirano, who loves the talent Ken Shimura, is enrolled.
Based on the idea that "if the work shines, the creator shines", the dignity of the individual is protected and an environment where people can be free is maintained. I was doing my favorite activity.
It seems that 2019, when I visited, was the 60th anniversary of the founding of Fukuyama Roppo Gakuen, and the Tomonotsu Museum was holding an exhibition commemorating the anniversary, and I was able to see a lot of rich works. (TY)
