Sunazawa Bikky Retrospective Exhibit

Bikkypostera3_2

Sunazawa Bikky Retrospective Exhibit in Khaju

This is a great opportunity to touch this outstanding artist from Hokkaido Island.
Acctually we Khaju members are proud that we invite such an organized petrospective exhibit of his which we can see various pieces of his huge artwork.

Bikky who passed away just 2 decades ago, was not only a successor of Ainu (native Hokkaido people) culture, but also had very unique eyes to watch over the beauty of Hokkaido nature and established his own style in wooden sculptures, dorwings, or paintings.

As Bikky was such an open minded, attructive, dynamic character who kept on having child heart, and totally dedicated himself to his artwork, one writer who knew Bikky very well used to write on the day of his death "he was very like Ivan III the Great, Russia."

As in his young time, he spent several years in Kamakura, Bikky's son Sunazawa Auta chose this Khaju Art Space in Kamakura as the first place to start this exhibit tour. For Auta it seems that this project is to find "unknown hidden faces" of his father.

We can proudly say that this show will give you something special.
With the wind from the North.

-Programs-
24th 13:00-18:00 (opening reception, exhibit, video show)

[singing performance]Ainu Folk Song Unit "Kanna"
As Ainu people did not have letters, they used to success they tradition by story telling and singing. Ainu folk songs called "Upopo" have special power to make vibration to tough every one's heart.

■Introduction
45 years has passed since I was born as the son of Bikky and Junko.
My father's past "connections" started to become more and more apparent to me. It was a strong but comfortable feeling. It is hard for me to admit, but this was the first time that I realized Bikky was so widely loved and continued to influence people even today.

As the son of Bikky, I feel sorry for not only having neglected Bikky but for also ignoring those people who treated Bikky with so much respect.

I wanted to show my thanks toward all those people who have supported Bikky up until now by planning this memorial exhibition. At the same time, I would like to promote the new "connections" which will be made through this exhibition to the next generation. I am sure a new "creation" will emerge as a result.

Sunazawa Bikky Memorial Project Producer
Sunazawa Jin (Auta)

■Project Concept
In January 2009, we remember Bikky Sunazawa, one of the best sculptors in Japan, who passed away 20 years ago. We start this project from Kamakura which was a base for the creative activities of Bikky in his 20's. We then continue to Sapporo, Asahikawa and Otaru where Bikky had many connections and then finish in Kanagawa where Bikky held his last exhibition. This memorial exhibition is not just an exhibition of Bikky's art. It starts from unexpected place, not from a museum or gallery. Furthermore, we hope that a new "creative" movement will be inspired through this project through the exchange of new "connections" from Bikky's art and next generation artists.

■Biography see the photos
Sunazawa Bikky
(1931-1989 born Asahikawa City, Hokkaido)Sculptor/Contemporary artist

Although many people tend to stress the influence of his indigenous background and indigenous culture in his art, Bikky stands alone as a complete artist regardless of his background. Bikky created his art by communicating with his wood, his key material, not as an artist, but as a human being, and providing a new image for that wood. Most of his artexpresses a relationship with nature, an exchange of communication and friendship and building the image of family, which is the story of life itself. Connections which are one of the concepts in this exhibition has continued as a core theme through his art.
