BLACK †rhinoceros
洞窟壁画からアルブレヒト・デューラーの犀など、様々に描かれきた大型獣。木漏れ日が織り成す地面の影が美しくこの位置に来るまで辛抱強く待ったが、犀の特異なフォルムが加わり神秘的なまでに美しい影が生まれた。
From cave paintings to the woodblock prints of Dürer’s Rhinoceros1, pictures of large animals have long been a part of history. The shadows woven on the earth by sunlight filtered through trees are quite beautiful and for that reason, I waited patiently for them to emerge. The addition of the singular form of the rhinoceros lends them an even greater, spiritual beauty.
1 Dürer’s Rhinoceros
Albrecht Dürer was a German Renaissance painter and theorist who became widely known for his woodblock prints. His Rhinoceros was a depiction of an Indian rhinoceros, based only on notes and rough sketches from a witness who had seen the animal on display in Lisbon. Although it includes anatomical inaccuracies, the drawing was widely popular and believed to be a realistic reproduction until as late as the 1750’s.
