Yuya Suzuki ( b. Japan )
Focusing on the intermediate zones within urban environments—those between the private and the public, and between the artificial and the natural—Yuya Suzuki extracts symbolic images through the process of drawing, based on the forms of “residues” generated by the interactions among urban metabolism, natural forces, and human consumption. Using these as the foundation of his own visual language, he employs various media—including sculpture, video, painting, and kinetic objects—to reconstruct the real world through mixed-media installations.
