Kyoto Meetings

Perrotin Tokyo returns to Art Collaboration Kyoto with a solo booth by New York-based Japanese artist SusumuKamijo. Kamijo works with the everyday—fruit, fish, birds, dogs—sieving motifsinto form and emotion. Long known for his poodles, creatures that lean towardabstraction, he now turns to flowers.These newer works carryKamijo’s idiom: biomorphic clusters, flat planes edged with line, thin-lippedhorizons. They recall the botanicals of ukiyo-e prints, now with a newfoundgravity. The palette is a rich, earthen quiet. The brushwork builds surfaces like layers of soil andsediment, from which an elemental mystery emerges.
