Yuya Suzuki
The artist Yuya Suzuki was born in Fukushima, Japan, and currently lives and works in Sapporo. He graduated from the College of Art at Nihon University (B.A.).
Focusing on the intermediate zones within urban environments—those between the private and the public, and between the artificial and the natural—Suzuki extracts symbolic images through the process of drawing, based on the forms of “residues” generated by the interactions among urban metabolism, natural forces, and human consumption. Using this visual language as a foundation, he employs various media—including sculpture, video, painting, and kinetic objects—to construct a unique simulation of reality in the form of mixed-media installations.
His main exhibitions include A Call of All Beings: See you tomorrow, same time, same place (Taichung Museum of Art, Taichung, 2025), Fukushima Art Annual 2025 / site-representation (Fukushima Prefectural Museum of Art, 2025), The 25-Hour Days (Keelung Museum of Art, 2024), Archaic Future (Moerenuma Park, Sapporo, 2023), Post Language Realm (Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin, 2021), Phantoms Agora (Siao-Long Children’s Museum of Arts, Tainan 2019) and grant include the Japanese Government Overseas Research Program of the Agency for cultural affairs to participate in the International Studio Program at Künstlerhaus Bethanien (2020-21, Berlin)
