My Origin
I often have dreams of the same place.
The small stuff is different in each dream, but the situation or place is same.
The place is an apartment complex where I had lived for 18 years since I was born.
It's just an ordinary apartment building for others.
But I have “a special feeling,” which I can't share with everyone in this space, to the apartment.
I had lived in seven places until now.
I don't know why, but I always have dreams of the apartment complex.
Thought the place is my origin, where I was born in and had spent my formative years.
So the place is where I've still had in my dreams.
I hope I'll create artworks of the place and have its show.

0.1 / 100
Even if I conceive 100 things, in fact I could realize only 0.1 of the 100 ideas.
I am a man of many different kinds of thoughts.
I really enjoy wondering things.
This is an ordinary habit, but I've come to enjoy it more and more as the years go by.
An amusement needs to me is “conversation with others.”
It's an amusement to realize what I imagine in my mind by painting, writing, and talking.
But it's impossible to put out all what I think.
As soon as I am just about to output one idea, I've got another idea.
So I could output at least the 0.1, if I imagine 100 ideas.
The photo is a scene from opening party of my solo show named “JAPPOLO.” (Santa Monica, CA/ 2006)

Collaboration
Today I walked around, wondering "what an ideal collaboration is?"
Collaborations are often explained with multiplications such as "A×B."
But that is only a simple explanation, and I think that collaborations are neither only additions nor multiplications.
For in additions and multiplications, there is a rule that the bigger the figures are, the better the answers are.
But the worth of figures in not always decided by the order of numbers.
Playing card, for example.
Sometimes A=1 is stronger that K=13 in some games.
I could show my own equation and the answer, if asked to explain with figures.
That is, 1+1=1, represents simply that artist+artist=the artwork.
But this answer is too easy to walk around, I wanted to walk and think more.
"Spaghetti with eggplant," one of my favorite meal.
The eggplants are so nice, because olive oil brings out effectively the sweet of eggplants.
The relation between eggplants and olive oil is what I called the ideal collaboration.
The point is that they could have effects on each other not by adding and multiplying, but by mixing up.
There is a significance that "two different things are put together."
And each of them need abilities to find out potentials of each other.
"To find out" means, as the words show, "to find and catch the excellence from the object."
An efficient artist finds out "what he should create" in every stuff, and Newton discovered gravitation from a falling apple.
It could be said that the ideal collaboration is a kind of chemical reaction in which the artists bring out the potentials of each other.
Assimilating collaboration to food makes it easy to understand what collaboration is.
The best meal is made of stuff which have the best effects on each other.
And the same thing can be said about a collaboration of artists.
Thought about that for a while, walking around, and I felt tired.
At last I felt hungry, imagining spaghetti.

Yosuke Ueno in DEBLI project
I'm going to participate in a group show named DEBLI project. (April/Tokyo)
I'm so excited to have the show in Japan, for shows I have now are almost in abroad.
And the content of the show is also exciting.
Artists will create our own artworks with objet made by Takemi Nishimoto.
Truly, it's the first time for me to collaborate with another artist.
It will be a good opportunity to ponder on collaborations, for I've been thinking about that.
Now I'm working for a show in March at LA, and on the completion of the work, I will set about creating this collaboration work.
But I've already begun to visualize the work.
It even might be said that the execution has already started.
Anyway it's sure that I'm so excited.
"To be excited" is the basis for all creative works.
I'm sure the work must be glorious one.

My Blog.
It's five weeks since I started this blog.
Though I've started and written unintentionally, I made some rules of my own.
I want you readers to read this on the screen of your PCs without difficulty.
For example, to be short sentences.
And to be with images.
Remember that I had created a lot like this, hoping to form what I thought and imagined, when I was in high school.
Thinking about that time, I'm so glad to have this blog.
Hope to form what I think and imagine as much as possible in this blog, though I might no be able to write every day.

My notebook for breathing
I've always got pens and a notebook with me when go out.
The reason I often wear jeans with big pockets is to put the tools in.
I wind up buying them at a convenience store, if I go out without them.
For me my room is where I couldn't rest my brain because I work in my room.
So I feel so comfortable than I think, going out.
I love to look comfortably in my room at my drawings drawn with my easeful mind.

The mood.
As a result to follow my mood, I have created one great work a year.
That is my cycle brought to me without knwoing that.
I've just started to sketch outlines since yesterday, feeling the mood.
The theme of it is "Energy of Youth."
Both the motivation and the theme are incidental result to follow the mood.
Sometimes that my attittude is mistaken to be irresponsible, but that's not.
The mood is more pure and honest than "logic."

Colorful White
I've just realized at the beginning of this year that a fusion of colorful colors and white is beautiful.
I recently have been so devoted to its experimental work that I could sleep a little.
So I went to an amusement spa, that is now popular in Japan and has some kinds of large baths, to relieve myself.
I make it a habit to massage myself as much as possible when finish working and awake.
As much as possible, because I was taught that it's important to ease my body by a friend of mine.
However, it's impossible to loosen me up entirely by myself, so I sometimes go to the spa to relax.
After a rest, I was back again to work, feeling my body refreshed by the spa.
Keep sticking out, my sense of colors.

A form of my concentration
I often use "metaphors" as the way to grasp uncertain things.
I feel I could get the obscure outlines by giving them specific images.
What metaphor is suitable for concentration?
This is one of subjects I've been thinking over for a long time, but I haven't realized it yet.
Every works demand concentrations.
Especially in case of execution, a piece couldn't be finished in the moment when the concentrarion goes away.
So whatever could the concentration be?
I was keeping painting for twelve hours without a rest yesterday.
But there are few days a year that I could't concentrate on anything at all. I don't know why, but somehow I do nothing but wriggle then.
So I deeply wonder, what the concentrarion is? I want to liken it to something to grasp it.
I know of course, there are many things "not necessarily so."
Thought that I couldn't get the specific metaphor for the concentration because I haven't recognized it yet.
Hope I will come across the answer sometime. I enjoy having a subject like that.

The universal perspective
Many answers to this world are not always simple.
The figure of this world is multiple and manysided.
So it's not enough to have a world wide view.
We have to get a universal perspective to observe the world.
People call that "a hurdle" or "a depression" when they have only a small perspectives.

Souichiro Honda, the founfer of HONDA had struk upon a great idea in the bathroom.
It's frequent that good ideas come to me when I shower.
Is it a problem of prohability, because bathrooms and showers are place we go inevitably every day?
Or are small rooms like these suitable to think?
Anyway people have their own situation where they are apt to get some ideas.
Remember that scribbles painted in classes had become to bases of my artworks when I was a student.
And that ideas flashed on me while I was working part-time always came to my works.

A philospher without doing anything.
People sending e-mails with mobile phones, reading, writing, listening to music, talking to the others, sleeping, and doing nothing.
There almost are seven types of people like these in trains.
But, sometimes "a person who is thinking" is mistaken for "a person without doing anything."
Remember that teachers would direct me not to sit dreaming, when I was a student.
But there is no one who thinks, taking the pose of Rodin's sculpture.
A famous philosopher, Kant had a habit to walk in the morning.
I am sure that he had thought deeply, walking.
Human beings sometimes think, doing another things. Often I think, even while sleeping.
That is, it can be said that another six types of people, except for people doing nothing in the train, also think.
And thinking deeply is differ from shallowly thinking.
Things I thought, conceived, and hit on.
I have to output them as many as possible.
By talking, writing, and painting.
As many as I could...
Thought deeply over things like these in a train.
Perhaps teachers might direct me not to dreaming.

My own words
I would never use a word "beautiful" when I was a child.
I consciously didn't because the word embarrassed me.
And neither "lovely" nor "love."
It was recent when I could say these words without hesitation.
That means I could finally find out the true worth of these words, growing up.
I want to handle only what comes from myself.
I do not like a feeling in which only words are floating around.
So I use only my own words.
That's my politest attitude to words.

The other day, I had a high fever.
In my case, I always have a fever when my style of artwork comes to make progress.
Once I surpass the margin, I can feel my brain developing fever.
Whatever comes up in my brain then?
Now I remember that I had an ache on my knees for the growth when I was in junior high school.
I think, perhaps, that there might be an ache as a risk for life to grow up.
If so, does a fever need for my brain to develop?
I don't know whether brains of cicadas become feverish or not, when they cast their skins.

The horizon of the night.
Drove a shoreline in my home town by myself at night.
At the beginning days of the New Year, I think of many things in the 365 days.
Think over the year, and things I could do in the year.
I make sure there is a limit for me to do in a year.
Then, I reflect on myself of the last year.
It can be said that my hobby is to reflecting.
It might not be a hobby, but a habit.
The life of a elephant is rather longer than that of a mouse.
But it's said that their numbers of heartbeat through their life are almost the same.
There is a limitation on my heartbeat.
And I could draw only traces limited in my life.
Besides there is a limitation for me to imagine and create.
I reflect on things I do in the day.
Not on my artworks, but also all things I do or say.
Better things or things not good.
I feel myself to be improved after reflecting.
For me, the end and beginning days of the year are days to settle things.
Over the dark horizon, I could see a small light.

White spirit
Sometimes I hear that "one color should be different to another persons."
Perhaps yellow to me might be red to the others...
That's not strange, because we have different brains.
But modern science haven't found the way to comfirm it yet.
At 2003, I started a series of "White World."
As a result of this age, or a condition of my mind, somehow I long for "white."
Although colorful works like POSSIBLE and The World Regeneration are great, I am attracted its reverse, the white.
I understand the beauty of yellw and red, but there are yellow and red over white.
White is a kind of accomplishment.
The reason I write "a kind of" is that if light are removed, there is black behind.
On the contrary, with full of light, there is white appears.
I prefer the white with light, the light of shadow and light.
So for me, "white" is not only a color, but also repserents a natural and simple condition, as it were, "a resetted condition."
Often I feel that it's enough only to have my brain.
I desire to get white spirit on my own.

Time limits
Human beings have decided many rules for us.
Especially, an idea for "time" such as "weeks" or "calendars" is very familiar to me.
For example, I have thought that "this year's about to finish..." in December every year.
The idea of time had been created by an ancient person whom I don't know at all, but I have been controlled by it.
But there is no "time" by nature.
So dogs yawn when we are pushed for time.
But, I enjoy "time" that limits our life.
Swear aims of the year at the new year and review and regret for what I couln't carry out at the end of the year.
That is like a game, I want to clear them as many as possible.
I think after all, a pile of them is life.

Roots (animation and path from the past)
When I was in high school, I had made an animation in my room.
(This picture is a poster of that.)
I didn't have computer at that time, so I used a video camera and a radio cassette player and two video players to make this animation.
I wanted to move my artwork freely, and shot each one of my paintings night after night.
Finally, it took very much time to finish the animation of 1 minute and 30 seconds.
Anyway, the reason why it took so long time was that I had done a lot of creating.
After all I was a junior high school student, so young.
I had done everything to look for my own potentiality.
Played in a band, shot pictures and took photographs. Made figures and embroidered my characters...
Of course painted every day and created a book.
And could have a little solo show every year.
It was a stage to do everything I wanted.
Remembering like this, I seem to be a person who want to do everything I intend.
Unfortunately, all my artworks haven't left, but that reminds me of kindred.
For example, my grandfather has been dead but there is me.
My pieces at past have no longer existed, but it's sure that they are in my pieces at present.
Considering that, I feel affection for those my past's artworks.

It can be said that it's unusual for me to show this kind of works.
I also haven't seen this kind of my artwork for a long time.
This work is exceptionally shown only in this blog as "Roots."
This artwork reminds me of my time of disciplines.

Roots (print making)
Carve a plastic board with a needle, and pour an ink into the trace.
Then wipe the surplus ink off the board, and finally press it to a paper.
I had done this when I was in a junior high school, and it shows that I have chosen sneakers as motifs since then.

Roots (drawing)
I am very good at creating characters. For I have been drawing cartoons since I was a child.
That has much to do with my work now.

Roots (colorful)
This was painted April 13th, 1993.
I don't remember why I had done this, but it's sure that I have loved those happy and cheerful paintings.

Roots (figures)
August 23rd, 1993.
I seemed to make a figure like this.
At that time, I had made some figures in addition to painting.
Now I remember that I would play with paper puppets made by myself when I was little.
Sometimes I covered the puppets with Scotch tape not to be got wet.
I am sorry that now there isn't any of them...

Roots (books)
From 1993 to 1994, I had made a book.
It consists of cartoons and comics, poems and columns, execution notes, photos, and so on.
There is a comic of which all the pages were painted in it.
And it has also making diaries of my art works.
I remember that I felt pleasant and a sense of fulfillment when I was setting about this book.

Roots (painting)
I found my work in which a king and queen of playing cards painted. This had been painted 1993.(when I was 16)
I used poster paints at that time because I didn't know acrylic paints.
The taste of painting leads to now, on the other hand, the style of painting is quite different from now.
But it's clear that "the crown" have been one of my favorite motifs.
It seemed that I have been fond of a pair of art works since then.
I wonder when these interests come along.
There are many paintings of my childhood in my home.
It's interesting to trace and explore my roots.

The balance between mind and body.
Took a ride on my bike in the cold, wintry air.
Winter is the best season for bicycle. The cold goes by in the first few minutes.
I always feel warm and great until when get my room.
Anytime think.
About the balance between mind and body.
I do not want to be a painter of lack of exercise.

Absorption
Absorbed in painting.
I couldn't stop it.
It's is the wonderful moment when the time is blown while working.

While my energy's lasting...
Although I swore to try "to keep regular hours if possible, every day," in New Year's Day, it was mornig when I finished working...
It is no use saying "if possible."
Every year I think of that.
So I decided.
I will keep painting as long as my stamina lasts, as I have done until now.
Anyway, I can't sleep while my energy's lasting...
