Without limiting himself to the so-called framework of “painting,” Hiroshi Sugito (b. Japan, 1970) creates places where architecture and artworks interact with one another to realize new forms of exhibition space. Unlike an “installation,” in such context each work has its own and independent “space.” Observed in the various spaces between respective works and that of the exhibition space and ourselves are Sugito’s ideas and contemplations as an artist, his meticulous research, various processes, time, and use of colors and blank spaces. These are brought together as myriads of layers, almost creating a rich rhythm or melody of sorts that permeates the entire space of the works. He has exhibited extensively both in Japan and internationally since the 1990s.
