「そこにあるもの」

大貫文詠の作品は、正視すると一見、和風建築の障子を思わせるような造形だが、側面から見るとそれは障子の格子ではなく箱状の物体の集合体で、その物体の奥行きはまちまちで凸凹としている。それぞれの箱状の物体は手漉きのネパール紙に覆われており、手漉きならではの風合いで透ける箇所には、何やら緑色の有機的な植物のようなものが見て取れるが、はっきりとは識別できない。更にその緑色を乗せた支持体には和紙を使い、その和紙には緑を描く前に無数の細かく短い線が、まるで絵の下地のように色々な色鉛筆とペンでぎっしりと描かれている。(これは作品の背面を見た時にしか知ることができない。)
作品の解説を全く好まない作家だが、「無機的なものと有機的なものの混在あるいは対比によって、見えてはいないが確かに『そこにあるもの』を可視化している。」とだけ聞き取ることができた。後は鑑賞者に委ねるのである。大貫文詠作品は、普段は見えないが確かに「そこにあるもの」との境界に存在する扉や窓の役割を果たす装置と言えるのではなかろうか。

“What is There”

When viewed from the front, Fumie Onuki’s works appear at first glance to resemble the shoji screen doors that are a familiar aspect of Japanese traditional architecture. When looked at from the side, however, they reveal themselves not as shoji lattices but as clusters of box-shaped objects of varying depths and with uneven surfaces. Each of these box-shaped objects is covered with handmade Nepalese paper. In the translucent parts of the paper, which have the unique texture of handmade paper, we can see plant-like green objects, but it is difficult to identify what they are clearly. In addition, washi Japanese paper is used as the supporting base for the green substance, and on this paper, a large number of fine short lines have been drawn close together with pencils and pens of various colors, as if to lay the groundwork for the painting before applying the green color. (These details can only be seen if you look at the reverse side of a work.)
The artist does not like to discuss her works at all, but she was heard to make the following brief comment: “By mixing or contrasting inorganic and organic things, I visualize ‘what is there’ for certain, even though it is not visible.” The rest is left to viewers.
Fumie Onuki’s works may be considered as devices that play the role of doors or windows that exist at the boundaries of “what is there” for certain, although not normally visible. Text by Gallery Kitai
