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 lion, the work speaks to the viewer of “the pride of living” and “the strength of life.”

ABOUT THE WORKAbout the work

古びた金色の背景に、王冠をいただいた獅子が正面からこちらを見据える。豊かなたてがみ、燃えるような琥珀色の瞳、そして首もとを飾る白いひだ襟。

浦山直樹の「KING」シリーズより「WEST KING」。西の王である獅子は、東の王である虎「EAST KING」と対をなす存在だ。アクリルと真鍮箔で描かれた画面は、古典的な肖像画の威厳と、動物が本来持つ野性の気品を同時に宿している。二枚を並べれば、東西の王が向かい合う壮麗な空間が生まれる。
