The majority of people seem to hold the value that it is good to explore a theme or refine a certain technique, but I hold the opposite view. I think it is better to abandon a technique that has become familiar to me, and I think it is good to paint fresh, as if I painted for the first time yesterday. However, the act to apply paint is something I was unaware of when I first started, and now I have no choice but to become familiar with it, as if it were a technique. Even so, I have not been able to stop to apply paint. I like painting that the paint appears to be paint, not the technique hides the paint and it makes look like nature, nor the technique appear to be a technique, but I like one. And yet, I felt like trying again a way of painting that I had stopped because I had become too accustomed to it. Is this just a matter of not being able to think of new things to try, or is it an exploration of a theme? I don't care which it is, but I have been trying so lately. I haven't had an exhibition for the past a year, and perhaps my thoughts about painting have changed under different circumstances, such as a physical breakdown and beginning martial arts.
I think I have always enjoyed applying until I was satisfied. Sometimes I have to apply a lot to feel satisfied, and other times I only apply for about three seconds to feel satisfied, which is strange and interesting. I wonder what is happening on the paper or canvas. If that is the phenomenon of called Painting, I would like to stand verticaly on the borderline between Painting and just applying.

ひとつのテーマを探求したり、ある技術を磨いたりすることを良いとする価値観が多数派に見えますが、ぼくはその逆で、慣れ親しんでしまった技術は捨てた方が良いと思っているし、きのう初めて絵を描いたような、そんな新鮮な絵を良いと思ってる。とはいえ絵の具を塗るというぼくの行為は、始めた頃は無自覚に、今ではしかたなく慣れ親しみ、まるで技術であるかのようです。それでも塗ることを捨てられずにいる。技術が絵の具を隠し自然のように見えたり、逆に技術が技術として見えたりしてしまわずに、絵の具が絵の具に見える、そんな絵が好きです。それなのに、慣れすぎたためにやめた描き方を、もう一度やってみる、という気分になった。これは新しい試みが思いつかないだけなのか、それともテーマの探求なのか。ぼくはどちらでもいいのだけど最近やってみている。ここ1年間展示がなかったし、体が壊れてきたり、ある武道に入門したりなど、今までとは異なる状況の中で、絵に対する考えが変わってきたのかもしれない。
ぼくはいつも、気がすむまで楽しく塗る、ということをしてきたような気がする。たくさん塗らないと気が済まないときと、3秒くらいで気がすむ時があって不思議でおもしろい。紙やキャンバスの上で何が起きてるのだろう。それが絵という事象なのだとすれば、絵と絵じゃないものの境界線上に垂直にぼくは立ちたい。
