Concept

She creates works based on her interests and the questions that arise from her surroundings and dialogues. She has been focusing on creating a number of paintings that are mainly based on the human will.
Since her solo exhibition “Addition to Traces,” held in 2020, in which she drew on the belongings of others, her interest in people living in the present has grown stronger, and she has repeatedly recorded (created) trivial changes in the world that unfold in front of her eyes as parts of her works, in real time.
She agrees with the words of numerous painters who have told her that “to live is to paint,” and she works with her brush in her studio every day.

Concept

Sugita consistently paints “light.”
City lights emerging from the darkness, vividly flashing neon signs—light serves as a symbol of life and a place of peace for humanity. Through her brushwork, she portrays the irrationalities and fragilities of modern society, aiming to reveal the issues underlying various phenomena and situations.

1996 Born in Aichi
2021 Master’s Course in Visual media course at Graduate school of Kyoto University of the Arts

Since my early days, I have been creating works using self-images based on my external features, such as my makeup.
In recent years, the self-image that has been the subject of my work until now has been abstracted into an image of femininity and shadows – driven by premonition and dreaming – and expressed through the act of line and burning. The images applied to various materials appear as if they were already there, inviting the viewer into a new-primitive world.
From 2022, the two series will merge into a new form of expression.

In recent years, she joined group exhibitions including “KUA Annual 2021 irregular reports: a group of tortuous reports and signs of hope” (Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, 2021).
