Gallery Commentary
SUMIFUDE" (Satomi Suzuki) collects and compares the culture and spirit of Japan with other cultures that parallel it in her works, and poses the viewer with questions and issues that arise from cultural differences.
Her methods are not limited to printmaking but include design, video, etc. What is consistent among them is experimentation, learning, and the change in perception that results from it. The background of each work, the context of history that accompanies it, and the questions it raises are sure to cause a kind of chemical reaction, just like the artist's name "Sumifude", taken from "Sumi (Ink) and Fude (brush)," that can become a means of communication through the presence of each other.
