About The Artwork

Why are creatures born, live and die? To my question at the age of 12, a Japanese monk and author Jakucho Setouchi answered in her book. “You were born for other people.” All animals and plants would be born to be eaten by others in the end. When a planet in the universe dies, it breaks, and the broken pieces of the planet would be part of other planets. The earth could have the same theory of the life and death as the universe. Why were we born for others, where are we going and why do the earth and the universe exist……I do not have the answer for them yet, but the origin of human should exist in the universe. Old Japanese said that spirits are the stars in the universe. I think that this could be right. “When I end up my life in the Solar System, which galaxy am I going next……” The stars might talk like this to each other… ----日本語---- タイトル「全ては他(た)のために生まれ、生き、死ぬ」 なぜ命は生まれてくるのか、 中学時代の自分の問いに、瀬戸内寂聴さんの本が答えていた。 「他人のために生まれてきたんです。」   全ての動植物が、最後他に食べられるために生まれてきているように思える。 宇宙も惑星が死ぬとき、砕けて、破片はほかの惑星の一部となるらしい。 地球の死生は宇宙にも通ずるところがあるようだ。 なぜ他のために生まれ、どこに行くのか、なぜ地球があり、宇宙があるのかはやっぱりわからないけれど、人間の原点は宇宙にあると思う。 魂は、宇宙の星にあるのではないか、と昔の日本人が言っていたことは、あながち間違いではないと思う。 太陽系で生を全うしたら、次は銀河系のどこに行こうかな……そんなことを星たちは話しているのではないだろうか。

Yu Kuramitsu is a Japanese oil painter expressing spirits. She started taking art lessons at Atelier Kawado at the age of 10. She enhanced her sensibility painting by oil or pastel for 12 years of the lessons and additional 3 years at an art high school.  When she was 12 years old, her grandfather died. A short moment after his death brought her to the way to think about life and death. Additionally, because of her weak hearing in childhood, she saw paintings were a way to express feelings and thought. From then, she has been pursuing how the spirit reflects a painting.   In 2012, Yu participated in artist in residency in Pushkinskaya-10, Saint Petersburg, Russia. Her solo exhibition achieved to be included in the event "Japanese Spring" supported by Japanese Consulate in Saint Petersburg. She had a collective exhibition at the Museum of Non-Conformist Art, Saint Petersburg, in 2015, included in the art festival “New Names” supported by the Ministry of Culture of Russian Federation.   Yu enjoys painting human or nature and expresses the grieve over your loved one’s death, joy in the relationship, happiness in the daily life, agony and sorrow in the depth of the heart. Her art is mostly abstract, and every scene on her paintings comes from her imagination.
