書家 現代アーティスト
幼い頃より書家であった祖父に師事し、アーティストの叔父に影響を受ける。
書道、茶道など日本の伝統文化を学ぶ側、生まれ育った東京で培った感性で現代的な作品も生み出している。
心身が不安定であった際にも、書道に取り組むことでバランスを取り戻した自分自身の経験から、
書くことそのものが人間に与える影響をの大切さを伝える。
現在では教室を中心として、純粋に書くことに向き合うことのできる、場所づくりを行っている。
東アジアでは、その文字の書き方故に右手で文字を書かないといけないという考えが強い。
しかし、自身がもともとは左利きであり、左手を使わないことで能力が制限される体験をしていることからもともとの利き手を活かした書くことの重要性を重要視している。
また、左手で書いた作品を積極的に作成している。
日本国内以外に2回のフランスでの作品展、海外での展示への作品出品の他、
国内外問わずワークショップやパフォーマンス活動も積極的に行なっている。
神野 奈津子 Natsuko Kanno
I am a contemporary calligraphy artist who was born in Tokyo and who graduated from the Calligraphy Department of Tokyo Gakugei University.
From an early age, I had studied under my grandfather, who was also a calligrapher,
in addition to being deeply influenced by my uncle, an artist.
As I studied Japanese cultural traditions such as calligraphy and tea ceremony,
I began creating contemporary works of art with an aesthetic sensibility that was cultivated in Tokyo, where I was born and raised.
I hope to convey the importance of the influence that calligraphy has had on the human race by drawing on my personal experience of having restored a sense of balance to my life through my engagement with calligraphy during a period when I was experiencing mental and physical difficulties. I am currently involved in creating opportunities for people to embrace the joy of calligraphy, mainly through my classes.
There is a strong belief in East Asia that calligraphy must be practiced with one’s right hand because of the way the characters are written.
However, as a left-handed person, I have experienced the limitations of restricting the use of my left hand. Therefore, I often emphasize the importance of using your dominant hand in calligraphy.
For me, I have been actively creating works written with my left hand.
In addition to my exhibitions in Japan, I have also participated in international exhibitions, including two exhibitions in France. I am actively involved in workshops and performances both in Japan and abroad as well.
Works

Beauty of the moment
思いを込めた言葉を
透明感溢れる書のアートへ
オリジナルの技法を使ったオーダーメイド作品
In this work, I used waste paper, old ink stick , and acrylic to give form to the aesthetic experience of renouncing our earthly life in favor of a state of play, an idea that is close to the heart of traditional Japanese culture.
This work possesses an understated beauty in its minimalist approach.
The beautiful shadows cast by the characters are foregrounded in this work.
Performance
古来より東洋の伝統芸術である「書」の魅力は、書きあがった作品のみならず、
書くときに込められた筆圧、呼吸、筆運びのリズムなどその動きもまた作品を構成する大きな魅力です。
本パフォーマンスでは、
紙面の作品では従来伝わりにくかった、作品を書くときの筆の動きを
センサーで読み取り映像化しました。
「はる」「なつ」「あき」「ふゆ」の日本の四季をその四季の色で書き上げます。
文字に込められた目には見えない動きを感じる作品.。

The appeal of calligraphy, which has been a traditional Oriental visual art since ancient times, goes beyond the finished work itself. Calligraphy also celebrates the beauty of the artist’s brush pressure, their breathing technique, the rhythm of their brush strokes, and the movements involved in the writing process. In this performance, sensors were used to detect and record the brush movements during the writing process, something that is usually difficult to showcase through the final paper-based work itself. The Japanese characters for the four seasons of “spring,” “summer,” “autumn,” and “winter” in Japan are written in the respective colors of each season. This work allows the audience to appreciate the invisible movements that make up these characters.
