About Memories of Rose and Journey of the Blue 空間装飾

この作品は、ジョヴァンニ・ベリーニによる肖像画「マルト・ド・フロリアン」に秘められた愛の物語からインスピレーションを得ています。バラ色のアレンジメントは、華やかな戦前の時代にパリで生きた女優としての彼女を表現しています。バラは愛を象徴します。一方、青いアレンジメントは、戦争の渦の中をさまよいながらも決して絶望せず、夜明けを祈り続ける女性の強さを表しています。二つの大きな曲線を描く花は、進むべき道を象徴し、乾燥した青い植物は「旅人の木」と呼ばれ、移りゆく時代を象徴しています。

Research: Researched Italian Impressionism through website and came across the painting of Giovanni Bellini. Impressed by the story behind the art
Inspiration: The inspiration for this art work, consisting of two pieces, comes from the story behind the painting, "Portrait of Marthe de Florian" by Italian painter Giovanni Boldini. The painting had been sleeping for 70 years until it was discovered at Florian's apartment in Paris. This work is an homage to the beautiful memories of Giovanni and his lover Florian. "La Memoire De La Rose " (left) depicts the story of her elegant life in Paris. "La Voyage Bleu" (right) is the image of her life after the war. She lived with dignity.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2016 in Tokyo and was exhibited in Flower Art Award In Tokyo Midtown in April 2017
Operation Flow: Display Tips: 1.Overall coloration may fade overtime, therefore avoidance of the direct sun light is advisable.
2. You can arrange them side by side as shown in the photo. Depending on the space available, you may place them apart from each other. It might be interesting to display it with each facing away from the other, back to back in a place like a museum where the audience flow can be dictated. Such flow must allow viewing "La Memoire De La Rose" first , followed by "La Voyage de Bleu".
