Yuya Suzuki | archegraph study_Berlin

About

In search of a new visual language, Japanese artist Yuya Suzuki responds to the environment around him: minimalist amorphous shapes, semi-symmetric patterns and bright, blazing colours function like fragments or syllables of an unintelligible code. When viewed as series or as room-filling installation, Suzuki’s works unfold into a linguistic landscape that feels strangely familiar, yet cleverly escapes definitive meaning. Each image is created from a part of an actual city-scape, but the level of abstraction varies: from motifs that closely resemble the original to heavily abstracted patterns. His “archegraph studies” — a term he coined in 2016— are visual texts that could also be described as an abstract syntax or musical pattern. Suzuki’s notes proliferate endlessly, defying a harmonious melody.

Yuya Suzuki, b. 1983 in Fukushima, Japan, is a current artist-in-resident at the Künstlerhaus Bethanien. His first solo-exhibition in Europe will open on 18 June, 6 pm. “archegraph study_Berlin” will be on view until August 6, 2020.

Yuya Suzuki's brandnew publication will be available for purchase in the gallery.
