Yoshihiro Shimoda待春
Yearning for Spring2F
-
下田義寛は1940年（昭和15年）富山県滑川市生まれ。上京して東京芸術大学にて修士課程まで終えると、大学を離れず今度は非常勤講師に就任。図らずも、もう一つの教育者としての才能も若いころから開花させていくこととなる。
大きな画面では、雄大な風景をコントラストの効いた強い色調の写実で表現する下田義寛。一方で画面が小さくなると、小さな動物たちを描く作品を多く手掛けているのが興味深い。
荒々しい赤い空が印象的な代表作「モン・サン・ミッシェル」が、芸術に挑む画家の姿勢を示すとするならば、かわいらしい本作品は、後進を優しく導く教育者の一面も示しているのかもしれない。
Yoshihiro Shimoda was born in Namerikawa, Toyama Prefecture in 1940. He moved to Tokyo and competed a master’s course at the Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music. After that, instead of leaving the university, he was appointed a part-time lecturer. Unexpectedly, he blossomed as he had another talent as an educator from a young age.
Yoshihiro Shimoda expresses magnificent landscapes using realism with strongly contrasting colors in large paintings. On the other hand, it is very interesting that he has worked on many pieces depicting small animals as his pictures become smaller.
His masterpiece Mont Saint Michel reveals the attitude of the painter to challenge art with its impressive rough red sky. This lovely piece may also show a side of an educator who gently guides the younger generation.
