展讯｜尻上壽 「春眠不覺笑」

中国的孩子都会有一个记忆，儿时背过古诗300首，其中一定会有孟浩然的《春晓》。现在的上海正是这个时节，清晨在复兴中路老房子里的画廊，此时此刻此处，处处闻啼鸟。

此次熏依社策划的展览是日本艺术家尻（kāo）上寿的个展「春眠不覺笑 | Spring.Sleep.Smile」，展期：2018年4月29日（周日）－2018年6月6日（周三），开幕式：2018年4月29日16:00-19:00。

上海首展也可谓是艺术家的小型回顾展，可大概窥见到他整体创作的一二。一入门厅展的是他作为漫画家的各个时期的漫画原稿和作品；另一个空间里展的是他的绘画行为艺术，整个房间都是他来现场绘画的水墨作品，他的世界充满了整个空间；第三个空间则全部是他的影像作品。

日本漫画家之父手塚治虫曾经公认［这个人，其实画的很棒］。他于日本社会里，有认为他是［拙巧（ヘタウマ）］的说法。得过紫綬褒章。漫画的出版总数从他1985年出版第一本漫画［艾丽之春］起，共出版了135本漫画本，其中［弥次san,喜多san］被剧作家宫藤官九郎拍成电影。

主要作品

《流星课长》，《长胡子的OL薮内笹子》，《身为地球防卫家的人们》，《科伊索姆列先生》，《方舟》，《从那天开始的漫画》，《松萌动漫系列（动画作品）》等

作为漫画家，当代艺术家和影像导演，看似有三个不同身份的他其实认为小朋友画的作品才是他心中的理想境地。所以有时在创作时他会使用不常用的左手进行绘画，是为了避免线条过于娴熟过于完整。

作为艺术家，2006年他在横滨美术馆做过大型绘画行为艺术，也在世界各地的美术馆与艺术空间做过很多次现场作画行为艺术。近期在江户博物馆以及北斋美术馆也有绘画行为艺术。去年森美术馆群展里展的影像作品受到非常大的关注。

但无论是何种身份的他在艺术表现领域里的共性则是，松萌和搞笑，让你不小心就大笑或失笑，或者偷笑。

希望他在上海的首展给大家开心一笑。他就像一张无限大的空间，不知道下一个瞬间还要做什么好玩的事情，可无限地期待他的作品。

shun，春天，在上海老房子

Born in 1958 in Shizuoka City, Japan. After graduating from Tama Art University with a major in Graphic Design in 1981, Shiriagari joined Kirin Brewery Company, Ltd. and worked on packaging design and advertisements.

In 1985, he debuted as a cartoonist with the book Ereki na Haru, receiving attention as a new type of gag cartoonist whose humor centers on parody.

Working independently since 1994, Shiriagari continues to release fantasy and literary series works and other works in a wide range of genres, including satirical four-panel comic strips for newspapers and long-form narrative manga, as well as underground manga. While continuing to release original work, in recent years he has expanded beyond manga into a variety of media, including video and art.

Children in China may remember that when they were still kids, they learned 300 ancient poems by heart. And spring dawn written by MengHaoran was surely one of them. Now it is spring in Shanghai. At this moment of early morning in the old house on the Fuxingzhong Road, I can hear the birds singing here and there.

This time we are preparing a solo exhibition of Japanese artist SHIRIAGARI Kotobuki. 尻上がりin Japanese means getting better and better. The given name of the artist is 寿. Then after the negotiating with the artist, we decide to use Chinese characters 尻上寿.

These works look kawaii, adorable and relaxing. But after burst out laughing, if you give it a second thought, you will see that what the artist tries to express through these works is serious. 

The first exhibition in Shanghai is also a small-scale retrospective exhibition of the artist, through which we can have a rough idea of his entire artistic career. The original manga and works of the artist at various periods, which were created when he was a cartoonist, will be displayed in the entry hall. While his paintings will be displayed in another room with the whole room full of ink-wash paintings created by the artist on the spot. His world will fill the whole space; there’s also a room displaying his image works. 

As the cartoonist, contemporary artist and image director, though with three different identities, in his opinion, the children’s paintings are the ideal wonderland he would like to reach. Therefore sometimes he would paint with his left hand, which seldom practise painting to avoid drawing too perfect and skilled lines. 

As an artist, he has performed a large-scale painting performance art in Yokohama Museum of Art in 2006. And performed several times painting performance arts on the spot in various galleries and art space all over the world as well. Recently he also performed in Edo Museum and Hokusai Museum. His image works received great attention when they were displayed in group exhibition in Mori Art Museum last year. 

No matter what his identity is, the general character of his performance in the artistic field is kawaii and humor, which make you can’t help laughing or sniggering.
