Ruca Tairaku Solo Exhibition

。Ten（Period）

Claude Debussy, the composer renowned for Clair de Lune, and Claude Monet, celebrated for his Water Lilies, influenced one another and created several works inspired by their artistic exchange. Music and painting, two forms that resemble each other yet are fundamentally different, have long fascinated me in the way they interact. This time, inspired by that dialogue, I chose to work within fiction and painting, these two fields I am relatively comfortable with, creating both myself and bringing them together as a single body of work.

Writing and painting are entirely different mediums, yet while composing a short story, I was once again struck by how much they share in common.

For this exhibition, I plan to present the largest work I have ever created in Japan. I would be very happy if you could come and see it. Though the writing may be modest, the short story will also be exhibited as part of the presentation. I hope you will take a moment to read it as well.
