Marc Foxx Gallery is proud to present new paintings by Hiroshi Sugito.

"When it doesn’t merely dull the senses, the daily inundation of visual stuff and static can be overwhelming. Sugito has found a way to confront the onslaught of the present not by retreating from or appropriating it, but by presenting the theatre of private moments between the acts. He has written about his work: ‘I guess invisible things should be kept invisible and unexplainable be kept unexplainable. When something appears or is put in, something disappears from the same moment. I am just chasing them like an endless game.’ However diminutive their depictions, Sugito’s paintings are large enough for anyone to roam in and spacious enough to dramatise thoughts about looking and the fictions of what is seen."
