I resonate with Hidetaka Suzuki’s quote about image-making and its function—he says, ‘Our future is woven from these fragments.’

Perceiving painting as a subjective glimpse, each of his works seems to occupy a space somewhere between the mundane and the uncanny: the cross-eyed pigeon, the hairy neck of a Geisha, or aggressive fire coming out of an ordinary stove.

The brushwork of his paintings is tender and playful, as if subtly reminding you not to forget the absurdity of our own existence, but with a dose of love and care.

鈴木秀尚の言う「私たちの未来はこの断片から紡ぎだされる」という言葉に共感します。

絵画を主観的なまなざしとする鈴木の絵画は、日常と不気味さの狭間にあるようです。

彼の絵は優しく遊び心があり、まるで私たち自身の存在の不条理さを忘れないように、しかし愛と配慮を込めてさりげなく気づかせてくれるかのようです。
