amatsukami
Atsushi Maeda
Original drawing
2023
Black marker on canvas
Size: approx. 910 × 910 mm (S30)
A deity dwelling in a sacred tree — amatsukami, the gods of heaven.
Atsushi Maeda
Born in Toyota, Aichi Prefecture. Influenced by bande dessinée as a student, he began drawing finely detailed comics, then worked as a character designer and graphic designer at a game company before launching his art practice in 2022.
His distinctive style fuses street culture with a contemporary hard-boiled sensibility, evoking stories that are at once cool and comic, and has drawn growing attention.
ABOUT THE WORKAbout the work
絡み合う巨木の根の上で、装備を身につけた少年がこちらを振り返る。傍らには小さなバイク。根は画面いっぱいに広がり、まるで生き物のようにうねっている。
タイトルの「amatsukami」は、天の神。神木に宿る神様を描いた作品だ。前田純は、ストリートの少年と日本古来の神話的世界をブラックマーカーで結びつける。910mm四方の大画面を埋め尽くす根の描き込みは、圧倒的な生命力を放つ。現代の少年が神域に足を踏み入れる、静かで神秘的な一枚。
