日本大分市别府县
Beppu, Oita, Japan
BANK欣然见证艺术家林明弘的全新委任公共项目“温泉花束 Onsenbouquet”正于日本别府市全城呈现。作为别府市政府100周年纪念项目的一部分，该项目对人们日常生活中的图案和设计进行了绘画，将它们放大到一个违背传统绘画概念的规模。在研究别府市时，林明弘在温泉旅馆和商业区的裁缝店看到了五颜六色的浴衣和夏季和服，以及建筑外墙和旅馆内的瓷砖，他从中获得了灵感。在以温泉闻名的别府，游客经常把浴衣当作休闲服来穿。同样，瓷砖在全国各地都很常见，但与别府的建筑和不断发展的卫生习惯有着特殊的联系。浴衣和瓷砖的图案以壁画和海报的形式遍布整个城市，以不同方式与空间和人互动。通过这些不同的方式，林明弘的图案将融入这座城市的日常生活中。BANK is thrilled to see new commissioned project by artist Michael Lin, "Onsenbouquet", being presented throughout Beppu City, Japan.Michael Lin makes paintings of the patterns and designs found in people’s daily lives, enlarging them to a scale that defies conventional notions of painting. While researching the city of Beppu, he found inspiration in the colorful yukatas, or summer kimonos, that he saw at the onsen (hot spring) inns and dressmakers in the shopping districts, as well as the tiles on building exteriors and inside onsens.
In Beppu, which is known for its onsens, visitors often wear yukatas as loungewear. Similarly, tiles are commonplace throughout the country, but have particular ties to Beppu’s architecture and evolving hygienic practices.Patterns from the yukata and tiles will be spread throughout the city in the form of a mural and posters, interacting with space and people in different ways. In these various ways, Lin’s patterns will integrate into the daily life of the city.

Lin turns away from painting as an object of contemplation toward one of painting as a bounded, physical space, one we can settle into and inhabit.
