Bill Thelen Exhibition “RISE UP” at Pilgrim Surf+Supply Tokyo
〈Pilgrim Surf+Supply〉では、アーティストBill Thelen(ビル・セレン)による個展「RISE UP」を開催いたします。
本展のタイトルでもある「RISE UP」という言葉は、単なる反抗や主張ではなく、
内側から静かに立ち上がる意志を示唆しています。
不安定さや緊張感が増す現代において、私たちは日々、多様な価値観や情報の中で選択を重ねています。
その中で、自分自身の視点を持ち、何を信じ、どのように世界と向き合うのか。
Bill Thelenの作品に通底するのは、そうした問いに対する静かな応答です。
それは、誰かに対抗するための強い意思表示ではなく、
気づきや思慮、そして他者や世界との関係性を見つめ直すための態度とも言えるでしょう。
本展では、「立ち上がる」という行為を、日常の中にある選択や感覚として捉え直し、
刺繍作品やドローイング、ジンなど多様な表現を通して提示します。
Bill Thelen(ビル・セレン)
アメリカを拠点に活動するアーティスト。ドローイング、刺繍、インスタレーション、ジンなど多様なメディウムを横断し、社会的な構造や個人の在り方をテーマに作品を発表している。現在はノースカロライナ州ローリー在住。

Born in a small town along the ancient Silk Road, I’ve been surrounded by fragments of history carved into mountains and buried beneath the earth. I have been especially drawn to mortuary rituals and objects that carry both mourning and the summoning of rebirth. While learning about them through textbooks, museums, and media, I realized they were often depicted through nationalism and Oriental fetishization.

In my thesis exhibition, I decided to agitate the discourse around this familiar heritage. With hazy ink, soft clay, and layered papier-mâché, I conjure forms that are growing, dying, sprouting, and decaying. The paradoxes of these forms sit with the many contradictions in my life, situated within cultures, histories, and precarities.

Opening April 3, 6-9 pm.
