In this series of vibrant monotypes we might discern motifs derived from natural forms yet at the same time the colours and marks that Suzuki uses conjure up the less tangible aspects of the natural world: the falling away of the breeze, the sense of a plant coming into being, how the turn of the wind or direction of light shapes growth. The swift gestures and choreography of his prints – the physical trace of Suzuki’s interaction with the plate - also suggest his awareness that he too is part of nature’s rhythm.

Edition of 1 - this print is unique.

Artist

Hiroyuki Suzuki lives and works in Japan. He has exhibited worldwide from the International Print Triennial in Krakow in Poland to the Janus Museum in Denmark and takes his inspiration for his compositions from nature.

Suzuki has been a long-standing supporter of Northern Print since an exchange project visit in 1999 and here Northern Print's Director Anna Wilkinson, described her visit to his studio in the mountains near Nagoya:

“It seemed to me the making of his garden and traditional wooden building was an integral part of his work. The cool mountain water to drink, the ponds and fish to eat and the wild plants he had collected on his walls and given space to in his garden”.
