A visitor to my exhibition in Tokyo last year fell in loved with East Meets West Meets Africa IV, but the original had been sold and she didn’t want a print. What did she do? She commissioned a new painting with the same design, the same composition and the same colours!
昨年の東京での個展にいらっしゃた方が『East Meets West Meets Africa IV』に一目惚れ。でも複製は嫌だとのこと。かといって、オリジナルは既に売れてしまっている・・・。そこで、「同じ絵を描いてください!」
I still changed some details though. Can you spot them? (the new one on the right)
それでも、細かいところをいくつか変えてみました。わかりますか?(右側が新作)
The client is happy with the work. I will have it scanned professionally and put a coat of varnish, before shipping it off to Japan.
注文主は出来栄えにご満足。プロにスキャンしてもらい、薄くニスを塗ってから、日本に発送します。
