皆様、こんにちは。 本日、2022年4月7日(木)から4月10日(日)までの4日間、アメリカの World Wide Art Gallery から、第45回目を迎える Artexpo New York に参加します。 Artexpo New York への参加は、2018年、2021年に続いて3回目になります。 アートがお好きな方でしたら、ご存知の方も多いと思いますが、ニューヨークで一番古くて大きなアートフェアです。 現地にご滞在の邦人の方をはじめ、皆様、どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。 World Wide Art Gallery のブース#108 に、僕の2作品が展示されています。 4月1日の記事の中に書きましたので、繰り返しませんが、これが僕の最後の展覧会になります。 ギャラリーのディレクターから、ブースの写真と、Pier 36 は、今までニューヨークで使用した会場の中で、nicest とのメールをいただきましたので、合わせてご紹介いたします。 “The venue of Artexpo is Pier 36 on the Lower East Side. This is a large, newly renovated building, and actually, of all the venues where we have exhibited in New York, this one is the nicest.” 最後ですから、僕も今回は現地に行きたかったです。
It is my pleasure to inform you that I will participate in Artexpo New York 2022 that takes place from 7-10 April 2022. This is my third participation in the New York Show. As you probably know, Artexpo New York in the largest, oldest and best established art fair in New York City. My two artworks will be displayed at the World Wide Art Gallery (US) Booth #108.
Everyone, very unfortunately, this Artexpo New York is the last exhibition in my artist career. I will not retire. I will continue to make paintings every day. However, since the beginning of this year, I have continued to treat my right eye disease (Wet AMD), but since I lost most of my right eye vision / eyesight, I decided to stop the exhibition in consideration of the burden of my eyes. Finally, my exhibition has been 46 times (11 solo exhibitions + 35 group exhibitions) in total throughout my artist career. The number of exhibitions by country is 9 exhibitions in Japan 21 exhibitions in France 8 exhibitions in US 3 exhibitions in Italy 2 exhibitions in Spain 1 exhibition in UK 1 exhibition in South Korea 1 Online exhibition
Thank you very much for many, many memories!
Warmest regards, Ken WADA
