すでに展示予定でした二作品をアメリカに発送してしまっていましたので、どうしようかと思いましたが、ディレクターの温かい思いやりで、2021年12月1日から12月5日までマイアミで開催される、Spectrum – Red Dot Miami で二作品を発表できることになりました。 トーマス、本当にありがとう！ 感謝です。
また期日がもう少し近づきましたら、会場や時間等の詳細な情報を改めて掲載いたします。

Dear friends,
I was looking forward to Spectrum Brooklyn from September 10th, but on July 20th, I received an email from the director of World Wide Art Gallery (US), and I was very disappointed to know that the organizer canceled the Brooklyn event. I had already shipped my two works that were scheduled to be exhibited at the Brooklyn show to the United States, so I wondered what to do. However, thanks to the warm consideration of the director, I will be able to participate in Spectrum – Red Dot Miami, which will be held there from December 1st to December 5th, 2021. Many thanks for your kind compassion, Thomas! Thank you very much!
When the exhibition date approaches, I will post detailed information such as venue and time again.
With best wishes for a wonderful summer, Ken WADA Artist
This painting was inspired by Malcolm Lowry’s “Under the Volcano”. Firmin is the name of the main character in the novel, and he’s a terrible, really terrifying alcoholic. I am very happy to have the opportunity to present this work for the first time in Spectrum Brooklyn!
With best wishes for a wonderful summer, Ken WADA Artist

皆様、こんにちは。 2021年9月10日(金)から9月12日(日)までの3日間、記念すべき第一回の Spectrum Brooklyn に、僕にスポンサード・アーティストのオファーがあったアメリカの World Wide Art Gallery から参加することが、6月30日に決まりました。 新型コロナウイルスのパンデミックが始まって以来、ニューヨークで一般公開される初めての大きなアートフェアであること、今回が第一回目の新しい展覧会であること、場所が現在ニューヨークのアートシーンを含め最も”ホット”なブルックリンであることなどから、コレクターやアート愛好家の注目や関心を今から集めて、話題となり、期間中の3日間はかなり盛り上がりそうな感じがいたします。 2019年の僕の2作品、“Untitled 2019 No.5 & 6” が、ギャラリーのブースで展示されます。 2作品とも未発表、今回が初めての展示になります。 皆様、どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

Dear friends, It is my pleasure to inform you that I will participate in Spectrum Brooklyn that takes place at Brooklyn Expo Center from 10-12 September 2021.

This is a new show (first edition). Brooklyn is New York’s new “hot” art neighborhood, full of galleries and studios. This show is expected to have extensive local and out of town attendance. My two artworks “Untitled 2019 No.5 & 6” will be displayed for the first time at the World Wide Art Gallery (US) Booth. I am so happy to receive a sponsored artist offer from the gallery. Thank you very much!

Cher mes amis,
J’ai le plaisir de vous annoncer que j’ai gagné le prix coup de cœur du concours d’art international Abstract Art de 2021! Artcertificate en Espagne a organisé le concours qui a réuni plus de 300 artistes du monde entier et plus de 700 oeuvres toutes catégories confondues. Merci beaucoup!
It is my pleasure to inform you that VIRTUAL ART FAIR 2021 organized by CONTEMPORARY ART STATION opened on April 1st, 2021. The Art Show is held by the London-based organization from April 1st to June 1st, 2021. This is my first participation in Virtual Exhibition/Art Fair in my artist career, that’s why I’m very excited! You can find my eight artworks from last year “Untitled 2020 ーfrom the series Green and White Paintingsー” on view now at the Virtual Booth(B-16). It’s included 37 participating artists from 18 countries in the Art Fair. Admission free. Please enjoy both the Exhibition Space and the Online Catalog!
P.S. I found such an online exhibition to be a great solution in this difficult situation of the COVID-19 pandemic. So, please imagine and follow what I’m thinking about right now.
There is a small gallery in the forest…, The walls of the gallery are green…, The season is spring…, A lot of butterflies are flying in the garden…, Many flowers are in full bloom…, New green leaves are very beautiful…, And when you open the door of the gallery, you can hear the sound of a doorbell. Then, you can find a mysterious cat at the entrance…, And the cat guides you through the rooms…, My artworks are hung on the walls…, You can see the paintings and labels well by clicking…, There is a small sofa in the living room…, And you can also drink a cup of tea/coffee there…, There is a donation box at the exit, and if you like this solo show, you can donate voluntarily. Of course, you are free to choose whether to donate or not. But now the artists are in this pandemic, have no income and their lives are very difficult, so the donations will help their lives.
Then, I have already considered the autumn version of this gallery. It means, my idea is to hold a solo exhibition at this gallery in the forest at least twice a year, in spring and autumn. Unfortunately, I don’t have this kind of computer technology, so I would be very happy if anyone could create such a virtual gallery. I would like to work with him/her, and we do it all virtually! It’s my current projects and inspiration. Thank you.
