We are pleased to present oil paintings by Nobuko Sugio, who uses the sounds of daily life as inspiration to create seemingly random yet intricate paintings that evoke life and movement.

Nobuko Sugio is renowned for her ability to translate the symphony of everyday life—whether it be the subtle chirping of insects, the hum of a refrigerator, or distant voices—into intricate and evocative paintings. Each piece is a unique blend of color and line, capturing the essence of these auditory experiences in a way that is both dramatic and deeply moving. Her creative process begins with a meditative stillness, allowing her mind to empty as she opens herself to the world of sound around her. From the whispers of the wind to the rhythmic noise of a radio, Sugio channels these elements into her work. The lines she draws may seem random at first glance, but they gradually accumulate to form a complex and dynamic image on the canvas. Sugio's artworks are not the result of preconceived ideas; rather, they emerge organically, as if the lines are gently scattered by the wind. Each painting contains a rich narrative, filled with landscapes, weather patterns, and the vibrancy of life. The wind blows, the sun shines warmly, and the lively conversations of people seem to resonate from the canvas. These elements come together to create the distinct and unmistakable art that only Nobuko Sugio can produce. We invite you to experience the world through the eyes—and ears—of Nobuko Sugio, where every stroke of paint captures the rhythm of life itself.
