無題Untitled 簽名左下：2008 ロッカクアヤコ Signed lower left Rokkaku Ayako in Japanese and dated 2008 六角彩子：手繪的夢想世界 「手帶領著指頭的方向，其力度勝於文字」村上隆加持的藝術家六角彩子，1982年1月24日出生於日本千葉縣。千葉縣鄰近東京，首都的成田機場，以及孩子們的天堂迪士尼樂園都在這裡。六角彩子的成長背景，距離外面的世界不遠，似乎預視著她未來將翱翔天際，往來於世界都市，還有她擅長畫出的女孩們的夢幻國度。 自成一格的繪畫特色與風格表現 女孩與兒童是貫穿她創作的主要母題，採取特寫形式的佈局。畫裡的人物往往不見笑容，或睜大雙眼，扁著嘴，表現出憤怒的樣貌。她說自己的人物畫有兩個極端：「逃離與追尋」，「遠目與凝視」。主角多數有行走的姿態，大步邁開向前。重覆性的隨機塗鴉圖案、動物，也經常是畫裡的元素。無論是拉長的手臂或是過大的眼睛，鮮艷的色彩或是簡化的細節，這些皆是日本卡通文化所帶來的影響。未上過任何藝術學校的六角彩子，其畫作技巧與本領皆為自學，靠著她與生俱來的靈敏觀察力及細膩的情感，她的繪畫技巧上已自成一派。六角彩子以手蘸滿壓克力顏料，觸摸時的溫暖手感及天馬行空的塗鴉精神價值，她用即興式的塗鴉將色彩與形式作了有趣的試驗，繪出了她的夢想世界。 AYAKO ROKKAKU: A HANDPAINTED WORLD OF DREAMS “The hand directs where the fingers point. Theyare more powerful than words.”An artis appeciatedby Takashi Murakami, Ayako Rokkaku was born in January 24, 1982, in Chiba Prefecture, Japan. Chiba Prefecture, which is close to Tokyo, is the home of theairport of the capital of Japan, Narita International Airport, and the children’s paradise, Disneyland. Rokkaku’s background is similar to that of the prefecture in that this world seems to have foretold her future of soaring through the skies and traveling among the cities of the world and a dreamland for girls she is an expert at portraying. UNIQUE PAINTING CHARACTERISTICS AND STYLE The major themes throughout her painting history are girls and children, and she often portrays them in close-ups. The figures in her painting are often unsmiling. Their eyes may be opened wide and their lips pressed together, or they may look angry. She said her figures went from two sets of extremes: “escaping and chasing” or “looking away and staring.” Most of the main figures in her paintings are walking in large strides. Other common elements in her paintings are repetitive random sketches and animals. Having elongated arms or overly large eyes, bright colors or simplified details, they are all influenced by Japanese animation culture. She never received formal education of fine art, her painting skill is self-study, and reflected on her inherently sensitive observation and delicate emotions. Her hands dipped in acrylic, with the spirit value of graffiti, Ayako Rokkaku used improvised graffiti to make interesting experiments on colors and forms that created her hand- painted world of dreams.
