Yoshitomo Nara – Hiroshi Sugito

The exhibition in Munich and Düsseldorf with paintings and drawings from the two artists, is the result of a collaborative atelier residency in Vienna over a period of several months during spring/summer 2004, upon invitation from the Österreichische Galerie im Belvedere. Individual as well as joint works will be shown in an installation conceived by Nara and Sugito.

Yoshitomo Nara (*1958, lives in Tokyo) is one of the most popular protagonists of contemporary Japanese art. His paintings and drawings reveal, initially, a seemingly childlike fantasy world, replete with wide-eyed figures and animals. The little despairing characters are sometimes provided with text balloons – sometimes empty, sometimes filled with stuttered copy – which further increases their seeming loneliness. On the outwardly naive surface, signs are discernable of a deeper more cryptic level.

The younger Hiroshi Sugito (*1970, lives in Nagoya) depicts in his paintings fairytale-like stagings that are somehow curiously linked to one another. Through their poetic visual language and subtle, emotionally striking coloration, the works break new ground in the realm of contemporary painting - yet a dark side can be sensed as well in Sugito's works.
