畑井恵さんの推薦文
「千葉に生まれ育ち、東洋的な油絵を追求すべく北京中央美術学院へと進学した江上越は、言葉の差異による誤聴の実経験をきっかけに、コミュニケーションを通した認識の問題をテーマに制作を続けています。江上かが描き出す「コミュニケーション」とは、お互いの距離を近づけるためではなく、その距離を詳らかに知るためのものだと言えるでしょう。この世界を生きる上で、私たちが誰かと向き合った時に目のあたりにする、決して越えられない隔たり。その間（あわい）を丁寧に見つめ、境界を確かめようとする先に、コミュニケーションのかたちは自ずと浮かび上がってきます。」

Art work "The temptation of passing by" by Etsu EGAMI, recommended by Megumi Hataii, curator of Chiba CIty Museum of Art Museum, got the Japanese collector’s prize.
Etsu Egami was born in Japan, in 1994. She studied abroad at HfG Karlsruhe (The Karlsruhe University of Arts and Design). in Germany, Central Academy of Fine Art in Beijing. Currently, she studies at the Central Academy of fine arts for a doctor’s degree. She reconsiders the possibility of communication from her wide experience of oversea, and studies from various academic fields such as linguistics to sociology, anthropology, and philosophy including the origin of languages. Particularly, she devotes herself to a reconsideration of society by words. Her “project” gained international acclaim for the site-specific field survey and documentation. And those factors have deepened the theme of “communication” and highly praised internationally.
As the youngest artist, she was shortlisted for a sovereign art foundation as an Asian Art Prise2019 finalist, also as an outstanding Asian artist, her works were collected by the Moscow Garage Museum of Art. Most recently, solo exhibitions such as “In to the light… Etsu Egami solo show” (Germany), “Dialogue beyond 400 years” (London), “This is not a Mis-hearing game” (Beijing), “Dialogue-4,000 years-Etsu Egami Exhibition” (Chiba City Art and Culture Newcomer Award Winning Project) were held. In addition, her graduation works received a prize and collected by the Museum of the University.
Etsu EGAMI’s recommender is Megumi Hatai, curator of Chiba City Museum of Art, which is one of the important contemporary art museums in Japan. About recommending Etsu EGAMI, Hatai said,
“Dauntless yet delicate strokes. Figurative or abstract? Animate or inanimate? Depending on the distance and angle at which this painting is viewed, its appearance, even the impression of the coloring, changes quite significantly.
Egami was born and raised in Chiba. She went on to the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing to study oil painting from an East Asian perspective. Motivated by actual experiences of mishearing due to differences in language, she continues to produce works on the theme of cognition through communication. Having portrayed others with a creativity inspired by trivial discords in her everyday life, Egami confronts her own childhood in this work.
There exists a gap we all come up against when confronting someone, be it another person or even ourselves. Egami takes communication as her subject not in an effort to bring one another closer but rather to acknowledge that fundamental distance. Through careful examination of that gap and confirmation of its border, there are also forms that surface of their own accord. Egami’s thinly painted translucent canvases allow us to plunge into the depths of the artist’s never-ending pursuit of communication.”
