加山又造 Matazo Kayama　展览作品

　　Matazo Kayama (加山又造)于1927年出生于日本京都市，他在1949年举办第一次作品展览前，一直潜心于研究绘画与日本传统艺术。1年后，Kayama 得到研究会奖(Research Society Prize)的肯定，并在1951年获得新人奖(New Artist Prize)的殊荣。接下来几年，他利用动物作为实验艺术的描述主题，并在1965年转型为“屏风”（Byobu）插画艺术，专门为特殊屏风进行精巧的装饰。 　　Kayama将现代主义融入传统艺术中，在日本建立了新的表达型态。1978年，他赢得首座日本艺术大奖(Japan Fine Arts Grand Prix)，并完成国立现代艺术博物馆(National Museum of Modern Arts)委托的大作“雪、月、花”(Snow, Moon and Flowers)。1984年，他完成两项最著名的作品：其中一项是名为“龙”(Dragon)的中国水墨天花板壁画，另一项则是16扇屏风插画装饰。这两项巨作现收藏于身延山(Minobu Mountains)久远寺(Kuonji Temples)。他最近的作品包罗万象，从珠宝到金属制艺术品、从巨无霸客机的内部装潢到豪华邮轮，一再证明了Kayama全方位的创作能力。 　　“当这辆BMW 535i被颜料全部覆盖后，我能更清楚的感受到其简洁利落的线条。” 　　就像许多创作BMW Art Car的前辈一样，Matazo Kayama赋予这辆BMW 535i独树一帜的风采，当他接受BMW的委托时，立刻灵机一动，想出一方面表达他对BMW科技的着迷，另一方面融合日本当代精神的构想。 　　虽然 Kayama重拾早期的主题“雪、月、花”，但是他利用喷枪，以全新的手法完成这项作品。首先，他在银色的BMW外部喷涂细微的蓝色阴影，除了可形成强烈的对比外，更衬托出车辆的高贵气质。接着运用正统、严密的日本工艺，像是“Kirigane”(金属切削)与“Arare”(烫箔)技术，切割小片的银箔、金箔与铝箔，并将其贴附于车身上。 　　Kayama完成这项作品后，透露他在进行设计时所遭遇到的困难：因为汽车表面的3D立体特性，让他在过程中几乎看不到作品的全貌。不过当作品完成时，其完整的艺术气息及美学效果，让他相当惊艳。 　　Kayama创作这辆BMW Art Car的意图并不是为了赛车或上路驾驶，而是希望让它成为一件艺术作品，这个决定使他能运用富有视觉效果但需小心处理的日本压箔技术来完成此项名作。 　　Matazo Kayama 　　Born in Kyoto in 1927, Matazo Kayama studied painting and traditional Japanese arts before exhibiting his works for the first time in 1949. Just one year later he won the Research Society Prize, and in 1951 the New Artist Prize as well as other distinctions. He subsequently experimented with animal motifs for several years before turning to "byobu" illustrations, the artistic decoration of special folding screens, in 1965. 　　By introducing modernism into the realm of traditional art, Kayama helped to establish a new form of expression in Japan. In 1978 he won first prize in the Japan Fine Arts Grand Prix and completed the work "Snow, Moon and Flowers", commissioned by the National Museum of Modern Arts. In 1984 he completed two of his best-known works: a decorated ceiling in Chinese ink entitled "Dragon" and an illustrated sixteen-section screen. Both now adorn the Koujoni temple in the Minobu Mountains. His more recent works range from jewellery to works in metal and the interior design of Jumbo Jets and luxury steamers, proof of the diversity of Kayama's creative abilities. 　　"The clean lines of the BMW came clearest to me once the car was fully masked” 　　Like many Ad Car artists before him, Matazo Kayama saw in "his" BMW a fascinating and challenging scope for design. When he was commissioned by BMW he immediately had ideas for the design: on the one hand he wanted to express his fascination with BMW technology and on the other evoke vivid associations with modern Japan. 　　Although Kayama here reverted to his earlier theme "Snow, Moon and Flowers", he painted it in a totally new way using an airbrush: first of all he sprayed fine blue shadows on parts of the silver BMW exterior to highlight the contrast and to emphasize the elegant quality of the car. This was followed by classical, meticulous Japanese techniques such as "Kirigane" (metal cutting) and "Arare" (foil impression) where small pieces of silver, gold and aluminum foil were cut out and transferred to the bodywork. 　　After finishing the work, the artist confided that a particular difficulty of the artistic design was that he could hardly visualize his work as a whole because of the three dimensional nature of its surface. He was all the more pleased with the aesthetic effect of his Art Car once it had acquired the status of a work of art in its own right. 　　Kayama did not intend his Art Car for acing or road travel, but 　　predominantly as an artistic exhibit. This decision meant that he was able to design the car using the effective but delicate Japanese foil impression technique.
