In Nagasaki Ichimatsu Matsudae-cho's "Nagasaki Peace Museum", 9 works, which Mr. Ikawa has been working on since last year, are on display.
The works on display have the same title, "Pinture," which means painting in French, and it is thought that each person should not be distinguished in order to realize peace.
In addition, all works are based on nine colors such as red, green, and blue, which are the same as the lighthouse of "Nagasaki Oath of Fire".
Among them, the work using the entrance of the building has a ceiling of about 10 meters in height, and 80 meters of rope painted in nine colors are entwined in an arch shape and the viewer looks up to the sky. It means that you want to feel your wish for peace.
Keisuke Ikawa said, "What is peace? I want more people to think through the work."
The exhibition is being held at Nagasaki Peace Museum in Nagasaki until the 10th of next month.
