Suzupro at Kanazawa College of Art

Japan

On the occasion of the Oku-Noto Triennale, the faculty and students of Kanazawa University of Art and Design formed a team that transcended the boundaries of specialization.
Based on the historical and social background of Suzu, which has developed along with the Sea of Japan, the theme of our activities is "over the quiet current". The center focuses on the creation of works in traditional Japanese houses in the Iida district of Suzu City, and throughout the year, the center participates in local festivals and traditional events in Suzu, deepening local exchange. In April 2016, we began full-scale fieldwork and conducted research on the Japan Sea. We continue our daily activities to create large-scale works that can only be expressed in Oku-Noto. 

武蔵野美術大学大学院修了。
80年代の活動当初から鉄という素材に魅了され、溶断と溶接を繰り返しながら作品を制作している。
素材本来の硬質感や重量感、彫刻＝塊という概念からも解放され、空間を変容させていく。
“場”を深く観察し、可視、不可視に関わらずそこに存在するものを取り込み、
独自の世界を構築する。
近年は石膏、ガラスなど異素材の作品も発表。
主な受賞歴に、芸術選奨文部大臣新人賞、毎日芸術賞、中原悌二郎賞。
