Hi Takuma. Today I want you to talk about art.

-Ok…. so do you have something to start with?

Well, how do you think about your works as interior?

-As for interior, I think what is the most important is not to bored people.What attract the audience is little texture on surface. Oil painting is good example.

I see.

-Digital images or printings are too plane. It’s like Udon (Japanese pasta). Taste nice , but not to every day.

So what is important is the misalignment from the norm. Without it, the painting has no attraction.

-Yes, that is what I want to say. Is the all works looks same, it’s not interesting at all. If there is some difference, it will be good. When you see the works of Rembrandt van Rijn, it’s much smaller than what you expected. It’s out of order. It is the difference from amateur.

Is it the same for other classical masters?

-Yes, but especially for Rembrandt . He is great.

-Talking about contemporary art, there are much more plane works, different from master pieces.

That’s interesting. In context of contemporary art, planeness doesn’t matter with there evaluation?

-For example, Wahole ‘s work is plane. But what he did whas not. It had a texture and historical meaning.

I understand. It is true that contemporary art has much importance
