Kumi Sugai
Kumi Sugai is a painter who worked between France and Japan, receiving high international acclaim during his lifetime. Even now, 20 years since Sugai’s death, his works continue to enthrall audiences with their unfading colors. Producing paintings over a period spanning near on six decades, his style underwent major transformations a number of times. Eastern motifs he painted with fine brushes early on in his career gradually became simple voluminous forms in the latter half of the 1950s. The geometric forms seen in works such as those in his “Autoroute” series emerged after 1962, expressing a standardization of color, materials and shaping, and demonstrating a flat and signature style reminiscent of road signs. From the 1980s, Sumai’s compositions began to feature more limited colors, applied with visible brush strokes. This exhibition will introduce a range of his works demonstrating various styles.
