Masako SUZUKI: ZOO-M
Editor's Note

As shown in the increasing number of artists who draw paintings using minute expression, such as Etsuko Fukaya and Hiroko Masuko, miniatures seem to draw increasing attention probably due to their understandable technique and figurative nature. Suzuki’s works may also be classified into the field of miniature. Nonetheless, her paintings give me some different impression to that of characteristics of minute expression, including the technicality and micro perspective of the world. This would be probably because animals which are depicted in her paintings by an accumulation of small circles and lines create some elusive image and “blank space” in her works eases our eyes’ tensions generated by gazing at her densely drawn picture planes. The creations presented in this exhibition show her first attempt to color her paintings, which contributes to adding a soft image to her works and therefore giving us a slightly different impression to other trivial miniatures.
