Kunié Sugiura - *Signed

‘We may assume (as a principle) that photography (photographing) is objective and painting (rendering) is subjective. Usually an artist chooses either approach, but I choose a method that ties the two together, makes them parallel or combines them.’ - Kunié Sugiura. From the beginning of her career in the mid-1960s, Kunié Sugiura has carved out a distinctive artistic practice which embraces unconventional photography techniques and multimedia expression. Sugiura’s manifold engagements with the mediums of photography, painting, and sculpture are brought together in this collection of her defining works, mapping the expansion of her dynamic practice spanning nearly six decades.
