Biography

Naoki Sutter-Shudo works in sculpture, installation, painting and photographic prints. His practice is shaped by his love for objects, developed during his childhood spent in Tokyo, surrounded by antiques. His composed works demonstrate a sharp understanding of colour, form and texture, presenting descaled universes and speculative worlds, organic and manufactured.

Inspired by Georges Bataille and Soetsu Yanagi, Sutter-Shudo revisits a 1930s and ‘40s artistic tendency to de-functionalise objects and rewire their essence and use.
