This large painting seems to show the natural world where people live peacefully with animals and plants.
An exhibition titled “Instantaneous scene-art expression in sports” held in a gallery near the south exit of NISHIOGIKUBO Station.
The painter, Mr. Ikehira Teppei, was born in Fukuoka Prefecture in 1978 and graduated from Shimane University in 2001, specializing in health and physical education. He has held many exhibitions in Japan and abroad such as in New York and Miami.
He commented,” Every scene in the natural world is the collection of results which each entity has attempted to get while surviving the moments. So, please widen your view all over this canvas to recognize that each entity becomes a main character, which will lead to the traditional Japanese faith in myriads of deities in Shintoism. I painted subjects that I wanted to one by one a day. As a result, it took as long as four months to finish this work.”
今を映しとる
この大きな絵は、人と動物や植物が平和に共生する自然界の姿に見えます。
JR西荻窪駅南口の近くのギャラリーで開催された展示会（「瞬景―スポーツにおける美術表現」）。
出展者の池平徹兵画伯は、1978年福岡県生まれ。2001年島根大卒。大学で保険体育学を専攻。東京、ニューヨーク、マイアミなど内外で数多くの個展を開いている。
作者曰く「自然界の景色は、瞬間を生きるためベストを尽くした結果の集まりである。したがって、どんなものも主役になるように、視界を隅々まで広げてください。それは、日本の伝統的心性にある八百万の神に通じると思います。1日1点ずつ描きたいものを描いていたら4か月かかりました。」
