Li Guangjin Itagaki solo exhibition "Love and thirst." INTERVIEW(3/3)

Li Guangjin Itagaki solo exhibition "Love and thirst." INTERVIEW

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.

―I think there are many opportunities to come to Osaka, but what is the impression of the city of Osaka? 
  
I sometimes shoot in the city of Osaka, but I guess everyone is more familiar than Tokyo. There are definitely more people in Osaka to speak out. In Tokyo, I often feel that even if I shoot, I look gently from the shade. 
  
―I feel like Osaka is coming from over there. 
  
That's right. I usually talk to men and people, and I thought it was completely different from Tokyo. It has a very flat impression. 

―How do you spend your time when you come to Osaka? 
  
When I come to Osaka, I feel like I always have a fixed shop takoyaki and return home. 
  
―There's a fixed takoyaki restaurant. 
  
Yes, there is. When you come to Osaka, eat takoyaki there. 
  
―By the way, I say Umeda is Kita, Shinsaibashi is Minami and Osaka. Where do you often come? 
  
Which one is it? I guess it's minami. Maybe it's Minami. 

―What is your impression of seeing the Osaka venue? 
 
I think it's interesting because there are differences between the size of the space, the color of the floor, the place where the gallery is located, and I think it's interesting because it changes the viewing environment. I'm looking forward to seeing you at this Osaka venue this time. 
 
―Finally, Osaka will be the last venue, but please tell us your feeling that the solo exhibition has reached its final stage. 
 
I never thought that I would have such an opportunity, so I was able to do a solo exhibition this time, and I think it was a really thankful time to get feedback from customers. There were a lot of things I learned from my solo exhibition, so I would like to make use of it if I have the next opportunity. 

―Finally, could you tell me what you would like to challenge or work on in the future? 
  
This time, I created a work that combines digital and oil paintings, and I really felt the possibilities and fun there, so I would like to continue producing it in the future. There were a lot of things I noticed and good things through my first solo exhibition. Once again, I felt that it was a work because I was acting as an actor, so I hope that I can make use of it and try various things again.
