CHIKAKO OI
大井盟子は1979年大分生まれ。
人は往々にして望んだものを手に入れる事は出来ない。思い通りに事は進まないというのは、大人になればなる程受け入れるしかない現実として立ちはだかる。
望むように生きれる人のほうが少ない。
しかし、当たり前の事が叶わない、あるいは思ってもみないような不幸や災難が降りかかるのもまた人生である。
大井は望んだもの以上に、多くの困難を抱え、潜り抜けている。
大井の作品は、それを制作によって浄化しようと試みた結果のようにも見える。
作家は通常、制作活動をする際にテーマを決め、それによってステートメントをまとめ上げ、一連の流れの中で作品を提示していく。
1つのテーマを突き進む内に、作家はそのテーマについて掘り下げ、加速し、増幅させていく。いわばベクトルの長さを伸ばしていくのだ。
しかし、そのテーマと作家は、元々はどこか通じる部分があるにせよ、当事者である事は意外と少ない。
自身が何か大きな困難に直面した時、当事者として立ち上がる事は誰にでもできる事ではないのだろう。
大井の作品を見ていると、そんな当事者が日常的にどのように作品と対峙しているかを教えてくれる。
人は辛い時には空を見上げる事もあるだろう。
苦しみを知る程に、世の中の苦しみや矛盾に怒り、悲しむ事もある。
もちろん、困難を乗り越えた分、優しい気持ちにもなったりする。
大井の作品は1つのテーマや感情では収まらない。
自身の中で消化するものが多すぎて、感情が多く大きすぎて、大井の作品は彼女を中心に放射状にベクトルを伸ばし、まるで暗闇に打ちあがった花火のようだ。
より遠くまで、沈んだ心を抱えた人々に美しく力強い姿と作品を届けられる作家となることを期待している。

ステートメント
作家としてステートメントを考えてみたが、
作家という一面が、私という個人と結びつくように、
私は常にキャンバスと向き合う時、光と影、揺らぎ、歪み、表裏、
私にとって芸術という行為は、人生と別物ではなく、
ABOUT CHIKAKO OI
Chikako Oi was born in Oita, Japan in 1979.
People seldom can obtain everything they want. This is a reality that we all must accept as we get older.
Not everyone can live the way they want.
We cannot make even normal things come true. Unfortunate things will and do happen even things that you’ve never imagined. This is the reality of life.
Ms. Oi has been through a lot of struggle and difficulty in her life than she was wishing.
Ms. Oi’s art seems like the result of her trying to purify the difficulty through her work.
The artists usually decide the theme before they work on their art and then they create their statement and then show their art in the flow of series.
While working on a theme, the artist will delve deeper, accelerating and amplifying their work. It’s just like stretching the vector.
Even if the theme and artist is basically connected somewhere, but not so many times as the person concerned.
When you face a big difficulty, not everyone can stand up as the person concerned.
When you look at Ms.Oi’s art, it will teach you how the person concerned deals with the work of art ordinarily.
When you are having hard times, maybe you look up to the sky.
As you know suffering, you will get angry at the suffering and contradictions of the world and you may feel sad.
Of course, as we pass through our difficult situations, we feel grateful.
Ms. Ooi’s work cannot be limited to only 1 theme or feeling.
Her art is just like a firework in the dark. She is in the center and her art is radiantly stretching the vector from herself.
Because she has so many things to assimilate in herself and she has many feelings and emotions which are too big and too much.
We are hoping she will become an artist that will be able to deliver beauty, strength herself, and her art to depressed people farther away.
STATEMENT
I was thinking about my statement as an artist. I cannot find the answer.
It is very difficult because being an artist and living my life is the same thing.
My personal life and my artistic life are synchronized perfectly.
You have to realize that humans are a product of nature and humans correlate with everything in the world just like my artistic side correlates with my personal life.
I always consider the light/shadow, the fluctuations, distortions, and the inside/outside contradictions when I face the canvas.
With art, the way people usually express such things as changing matiere or using collage sometimes change, but the basic expression is the same.
I want to be the kind of person that even though bad things happen or I have a horrible day, I can always feel it was a good day.
Art is no different from my life. My work shows my life, my emotions, and the locus of all my changes with visual additional lines.
