SUMIFUDE
Genetic inheritance, cell replication and the influence of environment and concept; You are printmaking.

ABOUT

SUMIFUDE (SUZUKI Satomi) is a Tokyo-based Japanese visual artist with a Mokuhanga and media arts background. Part-time lecturer at a fashion university.

After her experiences with child rearing and breast cancer, she developed the theme "Genetic inheritance, cell replication and the influence of environment and concept; You are printmaking," which also defines vital activity and human growth as printmaking.

SUMIFUDE's representative works include "SHITEN Chair (Milan Design Week 2015)," a sculpture that transcribes the composition of multiple perspectives of Ukiyoe onto a chair, and "Tokyo Dango (Roppongi Art Night 2021)," a video work that transcribes the urban landscape of Tokyo onto a Dango, a traditional Japanese sweet made of sticky rice, attempting to decontextualize and reconstruct printmaking by transposing different domains.

She received her research studies at the Central Academy of Fine Arts by Chinese Government Scholarship and her MFA from the Tokyo University of the Arts.

SUMIFUDE (鈴木里美) は東京を拠点とする、木版画とメディアアートのバックグラウンドを持つアーティスト。

自身の子育てと乳がん経験から「遺伝摺り、細胞コピー、環境と概念写し採る 君は版画だ」というテーマを掲げており、生命活動も版画であるとしている。

代表作には浮世絵の複数遠近構図を椅子へ写しとった彫刻作品《SHITEN chair》(ミラノ デザイン ウィーク2015)や東京の都市景観をお団子へ写しとるプロジェクト《Tokyo Dango》(六本木アートナイトRAN.tv 2021)など異なる領域への置き換えによって版画の脱文脈と再構築を試みている。

日中友好協会派遣留学生(中国政府奨学金)としてCentral Academy of Fine Arts(中央美术学院)へ留学、東京藝術大学大学院修士課程修了。
