Li Guangjin Itagaki solo exhibition "Love and thirst." INTERVIEW(2/3)
The solo exhibition "Love and Thirst" is currently being held at Shinsaibashi PARCO's 9th floor EVENT SPACE. 。 While working as an actor, Mr. Itagaki also worked on illustration production, selling NFT works, exhibiting works at fan events, and collaborating on goods production with magazines. In this exhibition, we will focus on a complex canvas art that combines digital illustrations and oil paintings that came to work on with the filming of the movie "Blue Period". This is my first interview with you about this solo exhibition.

―Mr. Itagaki himself will also direct the order of the works and how to display them?
Well, I thought about the arrangement at the venue and how to see it. Regarding the arrangement, it was a start-up and change, before I started drawing, I decided in advance how many such things were in this block, and then how many such things were like this, and I drew a rough and produced it. Some of them have been changed after arranging them at the venue, but since they are fixed at the time of the Tokyo venue, you can enjoy the same way no matter which venue you come.
―The big concept was ahead, and it was a method of applying the work to it. Did you have any difficulties with your first solo exhibition?
It's my first time to be a solo exhibition side, but there were some things that were interesting and easy to see when I usually see pictures at museums, so I felt like I was based on that. It's my first time to do it, but I've had experience as a viewer.
―What did you notice after experiencing the side from the viewer?
What I thought was good for the viewer, isn't it necessarily the author's master piece? I felt it through the experience of the exhibitor.
―Have you been looking forward to or expecting at this Osaka venue via Tokyo and Nagoya?
Customers vary depending on the land, so of course I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of perspective they will come to the venue in Osaka. I usually do events in two places, Tokyo and Osaka, but I feel that the atmosphere is different as a skin feeling, so I'm looking forward to the reactions of the people in Osaka.
―What kind of message do you want viewers to receive and how do you want them to enjoy the solo exhibition?
It would be nice if you could see it freely. If the author presents something, it will be tied there. If you look as you like and interpret it, I think there's nothing more than that.
