Yuichi Yokoyama 橫山裕一
Yuichi Yokoyama, born in 1967 in Miyazaki, Japan. Lives and works in Kanagawa.
Yuichi Yokoyama had produced Fine Art works in 1990’s after he finished his B.F.A at Musashino Art University with a major in oil painting. He has been actively engaged as a manga artist since 1995. In addition to his contributions to manga, Yokoyama's vibrant paintings and drawings have cultivated a substantial following and have received acclaim within the art community. His works have been featured in notable exhibitions, including "Record of Neo-Manga by Yuichi Yokoyama: I Am Drawing Time" at the Kawasaki City Museum (2010), "City Net Asia" at the Seoul Museum of Art (2009), and "Roppongi Crossing" at the Mori Art Museum (2007). Yokoyama's multifaceted talent transcends the boundaries of contemporary comics and the art scene, earning him international recognition.
"Whatever theme or motif I select, what I am drawing is not the physical thing in the picture but rather the particular sort of time that exists there."
The key themes that prominently feature in Yokoyama's body of work include time, process, and passage. A notable characteristic of his creations is the expression of the steady, rhythmic flow of time. The enigmatic and fantastical landscapes he constructs are essential to comprehending Yokoyama's artistic vision. Having experienced a nomadic childhood, he was exposed to a variety of environments, which profoundly influenced his perspective. As Yokoyama articulates, "I am mesmerized by landscapes and nature. The man-made world is so easily destroyed and is fraught with uncertainty; in contrast, the natural world is enduring, even divine. In the presence of such a monumental force, humans appear diminutive; all we can do is observe." This profound reverence for nature is vividly reflected in his imagery, the landscapes he depicts, the narratives he weaves, and the characters he develops, all of which convey a persistent tension and a deep respect for the natural world.”
1967年出生於日本宮崎。現居於神奈川縣生活和工作。
橫山裕一於1990年獲得武藏野美術大學的油畫碩士學位，自1995年以來更是積極從事漫畫創作。除了對漫畫的貢獻，橫山的生動畫作和素描也培養了大量追隨者，並在藝術界獲得了讚譽。他的作品曾在多個重要展覽中展出，包括2010年川崎市美術館的「橫山裕一的新時代漫畫記錄：我在繪製時間」、2009年首爾藝術博物館的「城市網路亞洲」和2007年森美術館的「六本木交叉點」。橫山的多面才能超越了當代漫畫和藝術界的界限，使他獲得了國際認可。
橫山曾表示：「無論我選擇什麼主題或動機，我所繪製的並不是畫中物體的實體，而是存在於那裡的特定時間。」
橫山作品中的關鍵主題包括時間、過程和流逝。他創作的一大顯著特徵是對時間穩定而充滿節奏流動的表達。他所建構的神秘而奇幻的風景對於理解橫山的藝術視野至關重要。經歷了游牧般的童年，他在成長中接觸到多種不同的環境，這深刻影響了他的創作視角。他說道：「我對風景和自然感到著迷。人造世界是如此容易被摧毀，而且充滿了不確定性；相比之下，自然世界是持久的，甚至是神聖的。在如此巨大的力量面前，人類顯得十分渺小；我們能做的只有帶着對自然世界深切的尊重去觀察。」
