家業である苺農家を手伝いながらイラストレーターとして活動する齋藤寛子による個展「Blue Blue Blue」では、齋藤がいとしむ"青"をテーマに描いた水彩画や刺繍作品、そして齋藤自身の暮らしそのものである"畑"を描いた作品群を展示します。

「Blue Blue Blue
　大切なものを見極める強さを
　手を差しのべられる優しさを
　好きなものを好きだと言える勇気を
　変わり続ける愛を
　受けとめ生きてゆく愛を
　
　私にとってのBlueに捧ぐ」
　-齋藤寛子

Multitasking between helping out her family’s strawberry farm and creating soothing and mesmerizing art, illustrator Hiroko SAITO features fabric works and watercolor drawings with these motifs in the spotlight. There are two central themes that focuses on - blue, the color she has long been influenced been; and the fields, which can be said to her way of life. Launching this exhibition at Shiogama’s Artist Studio Honda Kobo’s first floor gallery, birdo flugas is delighted to showcase SAITO’s works of both “blue” and “field.”

Blue Blue Blue
To find strength in figuring out what matters most
To feel tenderness of reaching out for your hand
To be fearless in conveying what I deeply cherish
To be moved and to move forward by love
To love and to be loved is a reason for being
To devote myself to you

That is Blue

— SAITO Hiroko
