Susumu Koshimizu (b.1944, Aichi) started his career while student in 1967. Together with artists like
Nobuo Sekine, he became a core member of the “Mono-ha” movement. In his works, he continues to
focus on the material properties of the mediums he works with. His latest artworks are wooden reliefs,
and he has especially paid attention to his Japanese identity while working with the traditional material.
Koshimizu has always sought to question the motivations and foundations of art, and his works challenge
the conventions of sculpture.

Gallery Information

YOD Gallery

YOD Gallery was established with a mission to show a new sense of value and expression inside and outside of Japan positively with such promising artists. We will try to search for a common sense of value all over the world from the thoughts of domestic and overseas artists and their works since the art expression tends to be more globalized. We, as one of the primary galleries in Japan, also review our identity as Japanese afresh by finding artists and works that possess an independent artistic sense that can be exhibited worldwide and aim to grow up together with them.
