About work
Kenichi
Yamada’s works overflow with a sense of everyday happiness.
Many animals make an appearance in them.
They put on innocent faces,
they get up to mischief,
they beg for treats,
and they come up to talk happily to you,
bringing joy to everyday scenes.
Trees and flowers decorate their surroundings with lively color.
Cakes, candy, and fruits and vegetables call out to you, “Doesn’t this
look tasty? Take a bite.”
Playing with animals,
admiring plants,
and eating delicious food,
you go through life appreciating everyday things.
Occasionally, to expand the fantasy,
you have a picnic with animals or play together in the river.
You decide to go out some little distance to a forest or riverside or someplace
that feels nice.
Coming and going freely between fantasy and the everyday,
I express that feeling of happiness in my paintings.
I try out many different colors, painting them over each other, until I find
the one that fits perfectly.
I pack a lot of happiness in between bright candy colors and pastel colors.
That time spent playing with color is fun.
It is the artist’s dream to share with many other people a sense of happiness
and joy of living through playing with color
