Boogie Woogie Photography, Hong Kong, and MUG Gallery, Tokyo, cordially invite you to the opening reception of a solo exhibition by Japanese artist Takanori SUGA.
Born in Nagasaki in 1985 to a family immersed in language and art, Suga grew up in a creative household, flanked by siblings who are also artists today. Trained in classical oil painting at Nagoya’s renowned art university, Suga’s practice has always defied boundaries—his canvases extend far beyond the traditional frame.
From painting on the human body and creating murals on abandoned buildings, to working with unconventional supports such as his grandmother’s beloved silk kimonos, temple sculptures, and even animal bones, Suga’s work weaves together disparate materials and histories. His art has adorned department store halls on the eve of their demolition and spilled into the natural landscape, always incorporating the memories and emotions of the places and people he encounters.
Opening reception: Saturday 6 September, from 5pm to 8pm, the artist will be present
Venue address: 8/F, E Wah Factory Building, 56-60 Wong Chuk Hang Road, Wong Chuk Hang
