田中童夏は黒い紙などの支持体に色鉛筆やオイルパステルで描くという手法で制作を続けてきた作家ですが、その「黒」は無意識の暗がりに通じるもののように思えます。絵本か児童画のようなタッチで描かれるその光景は、私たちが昼間の意識の中では封印している、不可視の世界での出来事のようです。近年はweb漫画誌『ボヘミア』(まんだらけ)に、漫画作品「死とキャンディ」の連載を続けるなど、多方面での活躍を見せる田中童夏。どうぞこの機会にご高覧ください。
TANAKA Dounuts is an artist who has continued to create works by drawing with colored pencils and oil pastels on a support medium such as black paper. The scene, drawn with the touch of a picture book or children's drawing, seems to be an event in an invisible world that we have sealed off in our daytime consciousness. In recent years, TANAKA Dounuts has been active in various fields, such as continuing to serialize the manga "Death and Candy" in the web comic magazine "Bohemia" (Mandarake). Please take this opportunity to have a look.
