松嶺貴幸
Takayuki Matsumine
1985年岩手県生まれ。
16歳の時に、当時取り組んでいたスキースポーツ中に頸髄を損傷し、肩から下が不随となる大怪我を負った松嶺は日々、生きることについて強く向き合ってきた。失意のなかから新しい自分探しをする過程を「時に社会は非常に厳しく私に吹きおろし、時に非常に温かく救った」と語り、その2種類の大きな風が、彼の力強い感性を培っている。作家活動を始めて以降は、宇宙、人間、自然をテーマに、立体、メディアアートを制作。その作品は松嶺が発信する自己表現、惨事や痛みをも「美」につなげる姿勢に共感したアートアシスタントたちの協働によって「共創」されてきたものだ。命あるものに降りかかる大小さまざまな受難。それらに対峙するからこそ、それまでの出来事を祝福し、美しさを感じ取れることを、見るものと共有しようと試みている。
Born in Iwate Prefecture in 1985.
At the age of 16, Matsumine suffered a serious cervical spine injury during a ski sport he was engaged in at the time, which left him paralyzed from the shoulders down, and was forced to confronted the idea of life on a daily basis. In the process of searching for a new self in the midst of disappointment, he says, ""sometimes society blew down on me very harshly, and sometimes it saved me very warmly,"" and these two great winds have cultivated his powerful sensibility. Since beginning his career as an artist, Matsumine has been creating three-dimensional and media artworks based on the themes of space, human beings, and nature. His works have been ""co-created"" through the collaboration of art assistants who share Matsumine's approach of connecting self-expression, tragedy, and pain to ""beauty"". All living things suffer various hardships, large or small. The artist attempts to share with the viewers that it is precisely by confronting these events that we can learn to appreciate them and perceive their beauty.
