The Nariwa exhibition surveys the evolution from my printmaking to painting and sculpture from my student days at Osaka University of Arts in 1972 to the present.
For people who have been accustomed to seeing my outdoor sculptures for many years, they seem to be unexpected and surprised when coming to the exhibition and seeing my earlier works.
The “Expression-110” silkscreen print was made in 1976, two years before I moved to the United States.
The maximum size of this print series was 240x480cm.
I made it in a 6-tatami apartment in Osaka. Now, I have assembled it in a gallery and have finally got to see it in its entirety.
Above are four of the six panels
If I had not gone to New York, I’m sure my life would have been completely unrelated to sculpture.

成羽美術館では、１９７２年の大阪芸術大学、学生時代から現在までの、版画から絵画、そして彫刻へ至るまでの系譜を俯瞰する展示となっています。 長年野外彫刻を見慣れてきた人々にとって、版画家野田正明は想定外なようで、会場へ来られて驚かれます。 「Expression-110」シルクスクリーン版画は渡米２年前の１９７６年に制作したものです。１２０x１２０cm このユニット版画シリーズの最大サイズは、２４０x４８０cmになります。 大阪の６畳間のアパートで制作したので、画廊で組み立て、ようやくその全体を見ることができました。 ニューヨークへ行かなかったら、間違いなく、彫刻とは無縁のままの人生だったと思います。
