Barreling Down

Urayama Naoki

Original

2024 Acrylic on canvas
M20 727x500x20mm

The theme of this work is “Chasing Your Dream.”

Barreling down your dream! Charge toward your dream!!

Complaining about your environment or circumstances will not bring your dream any closer. On the way to your dream, many obstacles and problems will surely arise. Do not look away: meet them head-on, break through, and seize your dream!! Those who have that spirit are the ones who reach their dreams. This work carries that conviction.

Profile

Born in 1975
From Chiba
While working as a designer, I reconsidered how I use my time (my life) during the pandemic, and in 2019 began in earnest the painting I had long been doing, as an emotional anchor and a place of mental refuge.
Finding pure love and the value of life in animals, I take them as my motif; while deforming them, I preserve the vitality and dignity that animals inherently possess, painting a world that is noble yet surreal, a world on the boundary between reality and unreality.

ABOUT THE WORKAbout the work

ミルクの王冠のようなしぶきの中、木箱の船に乗った虎がバイキングの兜をかぶって舵を取る。マストの上ではカエルが望遠鏡をのぞき、まわりには黄色いアヒルたちがぷかぷかと浮かぶ。

浦山直樹は、デザイナーとして働きながら、2019年から本格的に絵画制作を始めた作家。動物に純粋な愛情と生命の価値を見いだし、デフォルメしながらも本来の生命力や気品を残して、高貴でシュールな世界を描く。タイトルは「Barreling Down」。勇ましい航海と、どこかとぼけた雰囲気。そのギャップが心をくすぐる一枚。
