PAST EXHIBITION

Hiroshi Sugito: Under the Cloud

November 30, 2007—January 12, 2008

Nicole Klagsbrun Gallery is pleased to present under the cloud, an exhibition of new work by Hiroshi Sugito, running from November 30 to January 12, 2008. An opening reception will be held on Friday, November 30, from 6-8 pm.

Rooted both in a contemporary Japanese aesthetic and in the traditional
painting style of Nihonga, Hiroshi Sugito makes paintings that elude both categories. Using delicate layers of acrylic and dry pigment, the artist begins with an ambiguous painted space into which figurative elements are introduced, creating a slow-burning tension that quietly but insistently questions the role of painting as object and site.
