EXHIBITION
HIROSHI SUGITO
Born in Nagoya in 1970, Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugito studied at the Aichi Prefectural University of the Arts. Despite having trained in traditional nihonga Japanese painting, Sugito’s chosen subject matter is more contemporary and more dreamlike. His sparse compositions depict landscapes devoid of people with wide expanses of negative space, executed with a distinctively light touch and muted colors that imbue the paintings with an airy, luminous atmosphere. This exhibition of new works, alongside a selection of pieces from the mid-1990s revolving around the motifs of apples and lemons, will inaugurate Tomio Koyama Gallery’s new space in Kyobashi.

Tomio Koyama Gallery was founded in Tokyo’s Sagacho district in 1996 and has since established itself as a cornerstone of Japan’s contemporary art scene. Dedicated to introducing new perspectives to the art market, the gallery represents a diverse, multigenerational roster of Japanese and international artists, including Kishio Suga, Mika Ninagawa, Hiroshi Sugito, and Richard Tuttle, and also features contemporary ceramics in its program. From the start Tomio Koyama Gallery has maintained an active presence at international art fairs. The gallery moved to its current Roppongi location in 2016 and added another space in Tennozu in 2022.
