Tomoaki Suzuki
Tomoaki Suzuki (born 1972) is a Japanese artist born in Ibaraki, Japan.[1][2][3] He trained in figurative sculpture at Tokyo Zokei University.[4] The artist then completed an MA in Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London,[5] and another in Sculpture at City & Guilds Art School.[6]
Work[edit]
His practice specialises in creating urban portraits, carved into lime wood on a miniature scale and then painted.[7] He often searches his local neighbourhoods for young people dressed distinctively to use as models.[8][9] His work engages with the changing face of fashion and youth culture, investigating the methods people use to establish their individuality.[10]
In 2012 Suzuki's sculpture Carson was exhibited on the High Line in New York.[11][12] The artist has been exhibited internationally at major institutions, such as the Art Institute of Chicago,[1] National Gallery of Victoria,[8] the Barbican,[13] and at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris.[14] A selection of sculptures from the artist's exhibition at Corvi-Mora was included in the 2017 Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.[15][16]
