excellent clown Print

I draw clowns. Others say that I draw people and call them clowns. There were times, indeed, that I drew what people call clowns, white faced figures saddened but falsely cheerful. I draw clowns, people of our era. In modern times, we want to become clowns, playing different roles to our situation. Specialization of professions, systemization of organizational structures and socialization through the SNS require us to carry out roles. We praise their capability to put different personas on their faces, and clowns, now being confident and competent, succeed in modern times. In this context, clowns are no longer the gloomy figure of Jean-Baptiste Deburau, nor a decoy, nor a dupe, nor a romantic hero, nor a witty subversive character. Clowns are now our ideal figure. They do not disguise anymore, for it has become natural for them to manipulate personas. Nor do clowns reveal the fact that they are playing roles. If they do so, it just means that they are not the real clowns. Perhaps, perfect clowns must not even realize the fact that they are clowns. This does not mean that clowns do not have individuality. Excellent clowns must possess his or her unique persona, again, required by modern society. This individuality can be manifested socially through make-ups, hairstyles, colors, etc. I draw clowns. The works in my four series represent different types of people ‘called’ clowns. I intend to show how we are rather than how we should be.
