阪本健 について
阪本健についてのご紹介
以下 けんさんの愛称で呼ばせていただきます。
1993年から丹波での修行、独立を経て現在の大阪堺市に工房を構えられた健さん。
住宅街の中に突如現れるオアシスの様な芝生とレンガの道を進むと健さんの工房があります。
店主がまだ大阪でお店をしていた頃、たまごかけご飯は普段の食という概念から抜け出し、
育つ環境から与える餌や水までこだわり抜かれた希少な卵の価値をどうすれば伝えられるか模索していた頃に健さんの器と出会いました。
そのお茶碗（ボウル）はころんと丸みを帯びてなんとも手の中の納まりがよく、
そんな出会いが店主が作家作品の世界にはまるきっかけとなりました。
京土、信楽土などをメインとし釉薬や金属を反応させる唯一無二の作風は
作家本人さえも焼き上がるまで分からないというほどに変化し続け
新しいものを生み出し今も常に進化し続けています。
美しくビビットなカラーやかいらぎの質感などを追求する為に
敢えて難しいことにも挑戦し続け探究心を持ち続ける姿勢が尊敬すべき作家さんです。
国内を飛び出し今や海外でも活躍されている健さんですが、
長い間作家としての自身を模索されていた時代もあったそうで
私たちの人生相談にも優しく耳を傾けてくださることもあり
時間と鍛錬が人としての深みを増すのかと思わされるほどに
懐が深く包容力のある温かい人です。
器という形にはまらないほど、
ただ飾っていたいとさえも感じる健さんの作品を是非ご覧ください。
Introduction about Takeshi Sakamoto
After training in Tamba and starting his own business in 1993, Ken set up his workshop in his current location in Sakai City, Osaka.
Ken's workshop is located along a grass and brick road that suddenly appears like an oasis in a residential area.
When the owner was still running his store in Osaka, he broke away from the concept of egg rice as an everyday food,
When the owner was still a shop owner in Osaka, he was searching for a way to convey the value of rare eggs that are carefully selected from the environment in which they are raised to the food and water they are fed, when he came across Ken's bowls.
The bowl was rounded and fit nicely in my hand,
This encounter led to the owner's attraction to the artist's work.
The one-of-a-kind style of Shigaraki and Kyoto clay, in which glazes and metals react with each other, is something that even the artist himself does not know until it is fired.
Even the artist himself does not know his work until it is fired.
Even the artist himself does not know his work until after it is finished, and it is constantly changing and evolving.
In order to pursue beautiful and vivid colors and textures
I respect the artist's attitude of daring to challenge difficult things and keeping an inquiring mind.
The more kindly he listens to our life advice, the more we think that time and training will make him a deeper person.
He is a warm person with a deep and receptive heart.
He is so warm and generous that you would think that such time would deepen his character,
Please come and see Ken's works, which you may even feel like just displaying.
