KING series
True dignity, the radiance of life, lies not in costume or ornament but in the energy and brilliance of life held within.
By its presence alone it overwhelms its surroundings and commands respect.
It is truly the image of a king of the natural world.
Through this tiger, the work speaks to the viewer of “the pride of living” and “the strength of life.”

ABOUT THE WORKAbout the work

金色の背景に、王冠をいただいた虎が正面からこちらを見据える。首もとには、エリザベス朝の肖像画を思わせる白いひだ襟。鋭いまなざしと、気品に満ちた佇まい。

浦山直樹の「KING」シリーズより「EAST KING」。アクリルと真鍮箔で描かれた本作は、西洋の王侯貴族の肖像画の様式を、東洋の象徴である虎に重ね合わせている。真の威厳とは何か。生命が本来持つ力強さと品格を、緻密な毛並みの描写とともに描き出した一枚。
