en: facts first. so this is aargh’s entry to the contest, the topic was ‘make the rules’. only rules that one cannot disobey are the rules of nature. this is a painting of aargh interpretation of a spirit of nature, not a god or ruler, but keeper of the forest (森神). feel free to think of him as a totoro. the painting was done on A2 size natural plywood sheet with water based acrylic markers. the wood texture expresses the nature theme better than usual stretched canvas. only 3 hues were used, darkblue to represent indigo the color of raw denim and white+red which represent the colors of evisu selvedge. the painting was not coated and will age with it’s years, which is a reference to the way raw denim ages. it was printed out and displayed in the idea generation gallery in london during the evisu 20th anniversary party along with 19 other artworks from the competition and evisu commisioned artists including pete fowler, insa, jerremyville to mention few (what an honor!).
cz: nejdrive fakta. tak todle je soutezni obraz, tema bylo ‘nastavovat pravidla’. jedina pravidla ktera jsou pevne nastavena a nejde je obchazet jsou zakony prirody. toto je aargh interpretace spravce lesa, ne samozvaneho ale prirozene ustanoveho. predstavte si ho jako totora od aargh. obraz je namalovany na A2 preklizku akrylovymi fixy na vodni bazi, textura dreva vice podporuje prirodni tema nez bezne natazene platno. pouze tri barvy byly pouzity, tmave modra znazornujici indigo barvu nepraneho denimu, cervena a bila jsou tradicni barvy evisu selvedge. obraz nebyl lakovan takze bude starnout, blednout s nastupujicimi roky, coz je reference k tomu jak se dziny odiraji s nosenim. obraz byl vytisten a vystaven v idea generation gallery v londyne behem vyrocni evisu party spolu s dalsimi 19ti dily ze souteze a dily od autoru vybranych primo evisu a to pete fowler, insa, jerremyville a dalsi (jaka pocta!).
