Atsuo Suzuki
Tezukayama Gallery is pleased to announce Atsuo Suzuki’s solo exhibition “Carved Painting – Play – ” from the 15th of September. Suzuki was born in Aichi Prefecture in 1977 and completed his master’s in education at Shizuoka University in 2001. He is currently based in Toyohashi City, which is his hometown.
He refers to his work as ‘Carved Painting’ and has been creating various patterns by carving out layers of paint on a panel with a carving knife. The artist’s work resembled lacquer carving, yet the images created by Suzuki are so clear that even the artist’s breath can be felt. At the same time, the fault lines in the paint, which are revealed by the repetitive act of ‘carving’, tell the story of the enormous amount of time the artist has spent facing his work.
The exhibition in 2019, was composted in the three primary colors red, blue, and yellow. And in 2021, only monochrome works were shown.
The upcoming exhibition’s theme is “PLAY,” as the subtitle suggests. The impression of “serious adult play” is created by the artist’s ongoing search for fresh methods and ways to play while still using the techniques he used in the past. In this exhibition, you can fully enjoy the “PLAY” of Atsuo Suzuki, where the treatment of supports and painting materials has changed drastically, and the works are lined up with vivid colors and a formidable aura. Please take this opportunity to experience it for yourself.
