Sugiyama Yasushi
(Japanese style painter)
Nei Sugiyama is one of the leading masters of postwar Japanese painting, known as one of the “Three Mountains of Nihonga” along with Kaii Higashiyama and Tatsuo Takayama. His works are highly acclaimed both in Japan and abroad.
Highly descriptive and figurative skills: His ability to capture an object with a keen eye and express it with solid drawing skills and sophisticated composition is highly acclaimed. His ability to capture the essence of an object and reconstruct it through his own aesthetic sense, rather than simply sketching it, is unparalleled.
Intellectual and modern composition: While based on traditional Japanese painting techniques, his modern and intellectual compositions, which seem to incorporate elements of Western art, have overturned the conventional concept of Japanese painting.
Rich sense of color and texture: Vibrant colors and rich textures, achieved through the use of materials such as mineral pigments, leave a strong impression on the viewer.
Unique Boundaries in Still Life Painting: While Nei Sugiyama has created many masterpieces in landscapes and portraits, he has also broken new ground in still life painting with his outstanding sense of form and deep insight into the subject matter. His ability to find universal beauty in familiar motifs such as “citrus” is highly regarded.
Important Place in Art History: In the postwar Japanese art world, Nei Sugiyama's continuous pursuit of new expression has earned him a significant place in the history of modern Japanese art.
Even today, Sugiyama's works are highly sought after in the art market, especially his later works and those with animal motifs, which tend to fetch high prices. The “Kumquat” is also highly valued by art lovers and collectors because of its high artistic quality and rarity.
