Major Kishio Suga retrospective examines Mono-ha movement across international venues

A significant exhibition dedicated to Kishio Suga, a pivotal Japanese contemporary artist, is currently being presented in Paris and New York. Suga, who studied painting at Tama Art University, began creating works in 1968 using natural and manufactured materials to explore material relationships and challenge Western philosophical traditions. His practice examines how substances interact when viewed as active participants rather than passive objects. This survey highlights his contributions alongside other Mono-ha practitioners like Nobuo Sekine and Lee Ufan.
