His work was shown at with EIGEN + ART (Berlin/Leizpig) at this year’s Art Basel, and his artistic vision from childhood to the present has – quite clearly – matured, refined by his training at the Accademia Belle Arti Bologna. ![]() In fact, in each artwork, sculpture or painting, he harbors a strong and restless sensitivity that takes shape every time he confronts a figure.

It uses induction as well as deduction, and its data come from ordinary experience and divine revelation as well as philosophical axioms ("first principles").Ī Summa is really a summarized debate. Yet, though very systematic, a Summa is not a system in the modern sense, a closed and deductive system like that of Descartes, Spinoza, Leibnitz, or Hegel. So a Summa is ordered and outlined with loving care. The medievals had a passion for order, because they believed that God had a passion for order when He designed the universe. ![]() Everything is "bottom line."

Or not in such a superficial way, at any rate. I wanted to see a butterfly narrative that didn't rely on appearance. Deguchi's shown so much growth and strength up to this point. The heightened drama surrounding the wedding was also anticipated.īut why, oh why did Deguchi's looks need to change? Yes, I worried things would head in that direction (a common trope), but I believed Tanemura-san would carry the plot in a different direction. Of course, I expected the love triangle (that's a standard for her writing). Unfortunately, it's because she chose to follow the route I didn't want to see the story take. I could lose myself in the imagery for days. How long's it been since Volume 6? (Suffice it to say I needed a reread to refresh my brain on what was going on) These insanely long breaks between publications do a real number on you!Īs always, I can't get enough of Tanemura-san's gorgeous artwork. ![]() |
