Rui Suzuki
1994
Rui Suzuki works through repetition using watercolor, paper, drawing, and cutting to focus on the responses that emerge at the threshold of form. Rather than revealing the contours of a subject or the meaning of a scene, Suzuki’s paintings press into the subtle tremors that occur between the edges of color and the pressure of perception. Lines and planes, voids and dots interfere with one another, and form does not settle but instead organizes itself into structure. Rather than translating sensation into image, the artist adopts an attitude of waiting, allowing it to speak on its own.
