RICHARD LONG

I received deeply lecture about “Finding ways to lose yourself”.

Getting lost has two meaning.

It is usually bad thing, but sometimes it is really important to generate ideas.

Whole this lecture, I had favorite artist named Richard Long.
The reason I chosen him because his art style is different from others and he also has destructive beauty on his art.

When I saw his picture in the lecture, I thought he is Japanese, because he wear tenugui that traditional Japanese towel on his hat.

He was born in Bristol, England in 1945 and studied at the university of the west of England’s college of art.

This is his artworks.

I think his motif has circles, nature and place, especially road.

And also he prefers black and white coulor (monochrome).

When I saw his art and picture, it brought out the nostalgia in me.

Actually I don’t know why, but I think just miss place of nature.

His artworks are not just drawing.

For example, sculptures and textworks.

I focus on his drawing.

As you know his artworks has circle.

When I saw this picture, it lookd that it is like rice.

This is link of youtube about his drawing.
Please check it out!

I’m really surprised because he doesn’t use a writing brush.

He used only hand that wear glove.

I think he lose his self and got lost in his life.

That’s why he can create destructive arts.

In conclusion, I think that sometimes we have to break out of our shell.
