biography
Born in 1983 in Mie prefecture, Yohei Sugita creates oil paintings filled with a sense of tranquility, using press clippings as his motif. These works look like blurred, out-of-focus photographs. Recently he has started to create energetic canvases on which heavy layers of paint have been dynamically applied. Yamamoto explains the drastic change in Sugita's style as "shifting from the static to the kinetic". These energetic paintings are in fact produced through collages made out of so-called "paint skins", pre-dried layers of acrylic paint. Sugita describes this "paint-skin" as the record of his rough experience with atopic dermatitis, an ailment which he developed in his childhood. This collage of "paint-skin" is for him an operation by which he can assemble his experiences and memories from the past.
