[Works]
Gazing at a Person Gazing at Layered Trees
Acrylic and Oil on Canvas
H242×W333×D170 (mm)
2022
One of the works at the Vangi Sculpture Garden Museum, which had fallen into financial difficulty amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Many places face this kind of threat to their survival. The stone of the sculpture, which has endured far longer than the museum's own history, gazes on — one wonders what it feels.
Olive Noren
Acrylic and Oil on Canvas
H500×W606×D200 (mm)
2022
The ANDO MUSEUM on Naoshima. The olive is a symbol of peace, yet the controversy surrounding the artist's role as head juror for the New National Stadium was anything but peaceful — leaving only the wish for peace drifting emptily.
Three Squares
Acrylic and Oil on Canvas
H190×W273×D170 (mm)
2022
An outdoor work at the Benesse House Museum. It supplely catches the pleasant breeze and welcomes the visitors. A delightful sight, with the eerie charm of an anime or video-game character.
ASPM
Oil on Canvas
H727×W910×D250 (mm)
2022
A painting of the ASPAM building in Aomori. As the northernmost prefecture of Honshu, Aomori may carry an image of being remote, yet it borders the open sea and is home to a nuclear reprocessing plant, an oil stockpiling base, and a U.S. military base. ASPAM itself is a nostalgic-feeling tourist facility, but I painted it as a structure that seems to symbolize hierarchy.
Fountains of the inside
Oil on Canvas
H530×W530×D200 (mm)
2022
The former Ito-Yokado, now a municipal facility in Kitakami, Iwate. Shopping malls of the Heisei era often had indoor fountains, but to cut costs, artificial turf has now been laid down, with cheap potted foliage plants from a home-improvement store left carelessly about. A scene that conveys decline in just the right measure.

[Staff Comment]
The scenery filtered through Fukuda's eye somehow feels familiar, as if it were a view we have seen somewhere before, evoking a strange sense of nostalgia. "Mogari" is said to be an ancient Japanese funerary rite — the long period during which the deceased was placed in a coffin and temporarily enshrined before burial. Viewing the works again with this in mind, one may sense them quite differently. Please take a moment to experience them, attuned to how poetry was understood in those times✨✨ (Nagaya)
