"Arigatou" by Lefty Art
Exhibition period: 2024.11.05~2025.01.06
Exhibition Background
1. Please tell us about your profile.
Left-handed, born in 1985.
The original drawings are based on the desire to preserve the loose touch that is unique to hand-drawn art and the soothing, natural colors.
He is self-taught and sees painting as a communication tool that transcends language, and he mainly expresses what he has experienced and felt.
2. What first got you interested in art and artists?
I've loved drawing since I was a child, and I've been playing with drawing ever since I was old enough to understand.
Thanks to that, I was able to make more friends and associates, and even as an adult I've continued to draw.

3. Please tell us about the theme of this exhibition.
The theme is "Thank you."
Life is a long journey and on that journey each person takes on different colors, sometimes light and sometimes dark.
No matter what color it is, it's all packed with the word "Thank you."
4. Could you please give us an artistic commentary on the main visual work this time?
I combined a picture I drew with the letters of a letter my son Rioto wrote to his mother.
Like me, Rioto was a child who loved to draw from an early age, but he passed away due to illness in February 2021. Although we can no longer see him, he continues to live on in our family's hearts, and I would be happy if he could continue to live on as a work of art, so I created this painting.
