Indefinable Cities - Hirofumi Suzuki - Diary of a Stranger - #1

As part of the Indefinable Cities Exhibition currently showing at AirSpace Gallery, we are presenting the work of Hirofumi Suzuki.

Train, Osaka, 2015

Hirofumi Suzuki’s enduring practice, spanning over 30 years, takes the form of simple pencil drawings. Produced quickly, in large numbers and predominantly focusing on common aspects of everyday life. Suzuki’s drawings invest a value in a subject that may, on the surface, seem a touch mundane. Repeated journeys in various forms, provide the impetus for nameless portraits, or landscapes of nondescript urban locations. The importance for Suzuki, however, lies as much in the activity as in the output - the act of stopping and focusing on a scene and then spending what may only be half an hour carefully recording the subject, transcends the mundane into something altogether more significant.

To complement Hirofumi's Diary Of A Stranger exhibited in Indefinable Cities,  Hirofumi will be sending us a daily drawing for presentation here.
