The self-taught wood sculptor Suda Yoshihiro (b. 1969) honed his wood-carving skills to create sculptures of various types of flora (flowers, plants, etc.) that are so elaborate they could easily be mistaken for the real thing. In addition to his excellent carving, Suda’s works escort us to a unique world in which the pieces, installed in some unexpected place, are integrated with the space.
While highlighting a variety of aspects of Suda’s works, from his earliest efforts to new pieces made especially for this exhibition, this exhibition enables viewers to enjoy the artist’s singular approach as part of an installation in tandem with the architecture of Shirai Seiichi, the designer of the museum.
