Ayaka Wada| QUI x Shinsaibashi PARCO Art Mikata

There is no right way to appreciate art. But there are some tips to enjoy art more. Koho Suenaga, the author of "Art Thinking from the Age of 13" (Daiyamondosha), an art teacher who advocates "output appreciation" that explores new perspectives while freely expressing what you feel, is a series of art exhibitions with guests.
The fourth guest is singer and actress Ayaka Wada. We asked Mr. Wada, who majored in art history at university and studied art at graduate school, about the Kansai Art Annual 2025 CO (~ June 22) being held at Shinsaibashi PARCO.

When I was in high school, I wrote everything in exhibitions and movies when I saw it. At that time, I was practicing to show what I was thinking. But at some point, I felt that I was able to see without doing it, or that I thought I could see it without permission.

 

When I wrote it out for the first time in a long time today, there were 15 frames on the list, so I had to fill it up.…! It was a great pleasure to be able to discover new things more and more.

 

I usually go to the exhibition alone, but I felt that if I was alone, I could only see things with my own opinion. This time, while listening to Mr. Suenaga's viewpoint and changing his way of thinking, I noticed that "I should look like this!" Or "I have such a viewpoint!"
