彫刻Sculpture

　当大学当科では、美術学徒として彫刻（念いと技術の調和するところに芸術有り。彫刻芸術はその瞭然の分野である）という伝統的な重い表題を背負いつつも、努めて自由かつ広範囲に作業を展開しています。今展覧会はその研究修学期間の成果が展示されています。自由でありながらも念いと技術の原理を手放さず時間をかけて修練し工夫して過ごした期間です。そうして多くの労力が注がれて生まれた作品達には、強い必然が宿り、その作品を作るために生まれた宿命さえも感じます。人がモノを作り出す原初的なエネルギーを間近に見るのは非常に希有なことですが、今ここに展示されている作品達はまさにそのような出現したばかりの、熱量を持った念いの群です。
　それぞれの宿命を表現し得た学徒達は今、世界や時代に問う行動を起こすための確かな手応えを獲得されました。後の美術文化をさらに濃く鮮やかに仕立て、また賞味して下さることを心から祝福いたします。

Within the Arts Department of Sculpture, students shoulder the heavy traditional definition of sculpture (the harmony of sensation and technique, and a clear manifestation of that domain). They advance their work in a spirit of freedom across an extensive sphere. We are pleased to display the fruits of those achievements during their research and study here.

Within this temporal framework, students may use the freedom granted to them, but they are also expected to remain attuned to the principles of sensation and technique, exercising discipline and planning skills. The creations emerging from the devotion of such all-encompassing labor have strong certainty, generating an awareness of destiny formed in the quest to bring these works to life.

It is rare to have up-close views of the primordial energy human beings expend as they create such works. The pieces on display here were selected because they project such qualities. In that sense, this collection of works is steeped in the passion channeled into the spirited processes that brought them forth.

The students expertly expressing their respective destinies in these sculptures firmly sense what is needed to ascend to the next stage of their callings. Namely, addressing the themes of the world at large and the era in which those issues exist. I salute these budding artists as they strive to instill splendor in the artistic culture of tomorrow, empowering us all to join hands with them in relishing such breakthroughs.
