Being a professional musician, Watanabe perceives painting through his musical experience.

The power of Watanabe’s creative expression resides in his confidence in the direct effect of seeing and feeling. The artist does not cling to symbolic signs. On the contrary, the body is defined by its plastic outlines and is treated literally. Literality here is what eludes a metaphor. With extraordinary lightness and immediacy the artist conjures all the various nuances of the body and details of clothes whether it is hair, convolution of a lace, a glove or a finger.

Provenance

The artist always works with a live model sketching them in real time. Being a professional musician, Watanabe perceives painting through his musical experience. His art is born from the classical music and develops under its constant influence. Temporality is reflected in spatial. The artist creates his works spontaneously, in a quick tempo, while realizing action he has time to capture the energy of movement and those various expressions and all those attitudes of models. The moment itself with its own texture and singular sensations leaves its mark on the sheet of paper.

Literature

Sophisticated Japanese pictorial technique facilitates the naturalism: the corporality of bodies is produced by sensitive smoky shades of black ink and the extraordinary lightness of his line. Economy of line and aesthetic austerity are stunning. His art works may be regarded as an epitome of refined sensuality and elegant simplicity, the distinctive features of Japanese aesthetic discourse.
