犬塚弘　Inuzuka Hiroshi 1968年生まれ　長崎県在住 日本博を契機とした障害者の文化芸術フェスティバル　九州ブロックに出展した犬塚弘の作家紹介動画です。 https://archive.artbrut-creation-nippon.jp/ （作家紹介） 画用紙の中央に酒瓶が居座り、周囲に文字や数字が書き込まれている。酒や焼酎の瓶には商標が書かれ、銘柄を示す挿絵や意匠も描かれ、色彩や割付も実物のまま描写されている。周囲の文字は製造元の会社名や住所、価格、製造法、素材となる穀類の種類や度数までを示している。念が入れば売込口上や古酒の由来なども書かれている。こう述べると販売広告かと誤解されそうだ。けれどもクレヨンや色鉛筆の塗り跡は瑞々しく、手書きで縦横無尽に並んだ文字を見ると、宣伝が目的ではなく、むしろただ描く対象として酒瓶が選ばれているのだとわかる。この酒瓶のデザインや銘柄への執拗な関心は何なのか、という謎が作品をいっそう魅力的にしている。 犬塚は幼少期から父親が自宅で開く酒宴で眼にした酒瓶の色や形に魅了されていた。その頃描いた風景画などにも、どこかに酒瓶が潜んでいた。そのうち酒瓶が主役となる。最近では酒蔵巡りもはじめ画題のリサーチに励んでいる。 Sitting in the center of a drawing is a sake bottle, and the text and numbers are written around it. Written on the sake and shochu bottles are the trademarks of liquor and the illustration or design of the brand is depicted in the same colors and layout as the real ones. The text around them includes the distiller’s name, address, price, ingredients of the liquor and production method such as kinds of grains in the materials and the alcohol content. If necessary, he adds more detailed explanation such as sales statement and its history if it is a vintage liquor. They might be understood as a page of product advertisement. However, traces of crayons and color pencils are lively, and it is understood that handwritten characters, not in printing type but arranged freely, are not for the purpose of advertising, and the sake bottles are simply chosen as the subject for drawing. We wonder where his persistent interest in the sake-bottle design and brand comes from, and this question makes the works even more attractive. From early childhood Inuzuka was attracted to colors and shapes of sake bottles that he had seen when his father threw parties at home. In his early landscape drawings, some sake bottles hid somewhere. Soon the sake bottle itself became the subject and the present drawing style was established. Recently he began visiting sake brewers and is now engaged in the research on the subject for painting.
