Sora Suzuki
Shimokitazawa Arts is pleased to announce to present a solo exhibition "A Dream of Becoming a Dog" by Sora Suzuki.
She was born in Aichi pref. Japan, 1999, graduated from Oil painting, Aichi University of the Arts, 2023, and is currently in MFA, oil painting, Aichi University of the Arts. This show is her first solo exhibition and the first show outside Aichi Pref.
Suzuki loves and wants to keep a Shiba Inu, but she is convinced that it will not come true because of the current living environment and if she keeps one, she will not be able to lead a normal life due to indulgence. And, one winter, she started to think of becoming a painter because of the experience of painting on a warmer that my friend had almost every day and making her happy. Such a predilection for dogs and art love gave birth to a laid-back classical painting homage work.
Suzuki has never seen the real thing about any of the works that she paid tribute to, and she draws all of them with reference to books and images. After researching the creative background and allegory of each masterpiece, she considers each person and animal depicted as an individual, a life with a unique personality. She put her personal thoughts on many people and animals in the paintings to be happy, and sometimes add bold deformations to create them.
First of all, please take a look at Suzuki's paintings. After that, please take a look at the images of the homage works. One can't help but feel the humor, irony, and pathos that make us laugh. And it gives each and every one of us who live in a reality that is not only happy now and in the past a little courage to relax and live naturally.
