As a child, he enjoyed drawing anime characters, but after he started attending Yamanami Workshop, he began drawing patterns as soon as he picked up the brushes and rulers available in the room. His work features countless colored fan-shapes and dots. The brush movements and the way he places dots are methodical, repeating the same actions slowly.It’s unclear whether he has a specific image in mind, whether he’s simply enjoying the colors and movements, or what he feels as he draws. However, the way he uses his brush for lines and the arrangement of dots seem to indicate how he is feeling at that moment in time.

JURY’S COMMENT

MARUI GROUP CO., LTD.

Shigaku Mizukami’s work, which embodies diversity and free-spirited imagination, captured the hearts of many JAL Group employees. The colored dots seem to symbolize a range of people gathering and connecting, while the bright-colored fan shapes evoke an image of a free mind soaring into the future. The JAL Group resonates with this piece, which connects the world through flight in the sky.
