Born in Ibaraki,Japan Woman's College of Fine Art(Graphic Design)1972-75 Royal College of Art, London (Illustration)1991-93 Lives and works in Japan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- e-mail : kei.osugi@nifty.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 'Organism Series' For me plants are images of fragility, lightness but also power. In my series I have used the most characteristic form of printmaking and produced multiple images from one plate and printed this on Japanese paper. This method of reproduction creates a powerful image and three dimensional illusion as well as making analogies to nature. The 'Organism Series' is about transformation, growth and ideas inspired by plants as organic objects. I am fascinated by unusual spaces and create work that is flexible to each setting. keiko sugiyama ---------------------------------------------------------------------- selected projects and exhibitions 2010 'Beyond the Border' yellow dress installation ART SANDIEGO 2010 SanDiego,USA 2009 'red dress' ART LONDON London,UK 'ZINCS' SPICA art Tokyo,Japan 2008 'Seeds' ART LONDON London,UK 'Plants Plan' OMONMA tent gallery Ibaraki,Japan 'Keiko Sugiyama solo show' Gallery80 Tokyo,Japan 2006 'Plants Plan-dedication' Metal Art Museum Chiba,Japan 'Two Person Show' red dress installation Satelite gallery Ibaraki,Japan 'BOUNDARY'(group show) ZAIM Yokohama, Japan 'coppice' Gallery kopis Tokyo,Japan 2005 'Wallpaper'/'Plants Collection' Gallery PIGA1+2 Tokyo,Japan 'Tri-artists in Toride'(group show) Break Station gallery Tokyo,Japan 2004 'theCOVER-Herbarium' Za gallery Ariake Tokyo,Japan 2003 'Seeds'n'Berries' Za galery Bunkyo Tokyo,Japan 2002 'Fleur,Fleur' Maison Franco-Laponaise Tokyo,Japan 'PF Flowers' Za gallery Ariake Tokyo,Japan 'PF Petal' Za gallery Bunkyo Tokyo,Japan 2001 'Morris's DNA' INAX gallery Tokyo,Japan 'Petal,Petal' Gallery Y&Y Tokyo,Japan 2000 'red petal' Triennale Maidanek Maidanek,Poland 'Prints Plant' Makii Masaru Fine Arts Tokyo,Japan 1998 'Organism Series' Red Mil gallery Vermont,USA 'Blliliant12'(group show) Pitshanger gallery London,UK 1996 'Continuous Reproduction' 'Organism series' Meguroku Museum Tokyo,Japan 'Four Japanese printmakers' Harriet Greene gallery London,UK 1993 'Continuous Reproduction' David Hockney gallery R.C.A.
