Letter-tails Lost in Soil

土に隠れた文字のしっぽ

I simultaneously held my first solo exhibition in Japan alongside Project N 93.
Miyabayashi expresses a desire to "paint the wind," which can be seen as representing fleeting moments. She captures the scenes and sensations of the faint moments perceived by her own perception, taking them in like the palm of her hand and expressing those feelings on a flat surface. Through three winters in Berlin, with its gray skies and moderate humidity, the layers and membranes of that air have undoubtedly influenced the tone of her expression. She has sharpened her ability to focus on "what can be seen here and now," and have acquired the power to create paintings that are quiet yet eloquent, while using fewer colors and strokes.

Hinako Miyabayashi

Running in parallel with ‘Letter-tails Lost in Soil’, this became my first solo exhibition in Japan.
The exhibition was part of a program launched in 1999 by the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery — an institution operated by the Tokyo Opera City Cultural Foundation — dedicated to introducing emerging painters. Funded by the Cultural Contributor’s Pension of the late artist Tatsuoki Nambata, a key figure associated with the Terada Collection, the program continues in accordance with his wishes.

Hinako Miyabayashi

My very first solo exhibition was presented in Innsbruck, Austria.

As I watched the steadily falling snow from my parents' house in Sapporo, I realized that the world is multi-faceted. The sight of the snow falling so far that it threatened to disappear from view gave me the stimulus for the picture I wanted to paint. There seemed to be neither a beginning nor an end, and yet each snowflake seemed to have its own unique time.

Words on paper, poems in hiragana, undecipherable characters in ancient Japanese paintings: No longer words, but landscapes.

Snow covers the park, splashes of color from the playground equipment are gleaming. Above me branches swaying in the wind. Buds, children's laughter, cars passing by, the gray sky, the color of the leaves, three trash cans.––They all pause, as if they were letters. A blue time. The branch that slips into my field of vision disappears from the landscape after one step.

That I am being drawn by the material, I perceive as a natural phenomenon.––To express or to cause this only by my own will and manual dexterity seems arrogant to me. Rather, it is the natural, incidental moment of wonder when I come across these momentary phenomena that constitutes the drawing.

TAMABI select  —4—

The TAMABI select exhibition is one of the projects of the Department of Fine Arts at Tama Art University, and this is the fourth time. Tama Art University has students studying various fields related to art and fine arts, ranging from painting, sculpture, design, theatre and dance to curation, and the university is a rare environment in which all these people can meet together. This exhibition aims to actively research the exchanges and thoughts that arise in such an environment, and to explore new ways of creating artworks and exhibitions by stimulating both the students who create the artworks and those who organise the exhibitions.

Watashi-Tokyo

私東京

Observing ‘Tokyo’ from the perspective of ‘I’.

This book was jointly produced under the guidance of Professor Takenori Miyamoto by graduate students in oil painting at Tokyo University of the Arts. Each of them conducted research and writing on Tokyo during the COVID-19 pandemic. As for myself, I created monochrome drawings and wrote a few words about the differences in scenery and overlapping memories I observed while wandering between Tokyo and Berlin in 2021.
