ジェレミー・ディッキンソンは1963年イギリス生まれ。1986年にゴールドスミス・カレッジを卒業、現在もロンドンを拠点に制作を行っています。ヨーロッパやアメリカ各地で個展を開催し、小山登美夫ギャラリーでは５度目の個展となります。彼は子供の頃から蒐集してきたミニカーを主なモチーフに描きます。モデルカー、トラック、路線バスやスクールバス、電車などのミニカーが子供が遊ぶように配置される様は、幼い頃の記憶を思い起こさせ、また車窓に映り込んだ風景や日差し、キズや剥落など細部の克明な描写からは作家とモチーフの共有した時間が読み取れると同時にイギリスが伝統的に持っている物への愛情、暖かさを感じられるでしょう。一方背景は常に無地で塗られ、モチーフの色彩と連動しそれを照らす光となって見る者の想像力を掻き立てます。過去の記憶を新しい想像の世界へ変化させる彼の作品をぜひご高覧下さい。

Jeremy Dickinson was born in the U.K. in 1963. He graduated from Goldsmith's College in London in 1986 and he still lives and works in London. He has had solo exhibitions in many places in Europe and the U.S., and this is his fifth exhibition at Tomio Koyama Gallery. As a motif he uses the miniature automobiles that he has collected since he was little to create paintings. The array of model cars, trucks, trains, and various buses ranging from local buses and school buses to double deckers, summons recollections from our own childhood. Also, from the landscape and sunlight reflected through the train window, and the precisely detailed depiction of scratches and peeling paint, we can interpret the time that the artist shared with these motifs, as well as feel the affection and warmth that English people have for things that have traditionally existed in the U.K. Contrary to the cars' precise details, the backgrounds are uniformly plain, which not only serve to illuminate the colors of the cars but also to trigger viewers' imaginations. Please visit to see his works which transform memories of the past into a new realm of imagination.
