《水色》 石井義人作品集說起與石井義人認識的故事，只能說是上天巧妙的安排…2014年我在香港的飯店博覽會中發現石井的作品，當時他委託一個藝術intermediary在某家參展畫廊的展間，在繁復的飯店房間內，我第一眼就看到石井的作品，與他當時的代理人交談後，我就帶了他一幅作品回到台北了。其實這件作品是我第一件在飯店博覽會收藏的作品，在以前我都是參訪日本畫廊購買作品的。這是一幅使用繪圖器材的紙上作品，對於有小有收藏經驗的我來說，收藏家前輩時常提醒，創作媒材的不同會影響未來的價格。也因此當下確實有閃過放棄的念頭，但是看到作品本身的優雅線條與呈現出來的完美形象，那個所謂”收藏未來的價格”好像也沒那麼重要了，重點是他為什麼做，而不是在意他在做什麼。The story of how I met Yoshihito Ishii is nothing short of a serendipitous twist of fate. In 2014, while attending a hotel art fair in Hong Kong, I stumbled upon Ishii's artworks. He had entrusted one of his pieces to be displayed at a gallery booth through an art intermediary. In the midst of the intricate hotel rooms, I laid eyes on Ishii's work for the first time. After a conversation with his representative, I decided to bring one of his pieces back to Taipei. This was actually the first artwork I collected at a hotel art fair, as I had previously purchased art by visiting galleries in Japan.
