Bidding winter farewell and welcoming spring, Risaku Suzuki‘s (*1963,Japan) first european solo exhibition presented photographs from variousseries of works focusing on the enticing, emblematically Japanese subjects of snow and cherry blossoms. Unmistakeable yet unrecognisable alike, subtlety and the poetic obscuring of what is visible to the eye characterise the works shown in this exhibition. The artist has developed an enchanting and almost painterly style; with his contemplative, Japanese-influenced visual vocabulary he creates fascinating works focusing on the beauty of nature. His works are part of museum collections from Asia to the US, such as The National Museum of Modern Art, or the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography, Tokyo, The Art Museum, Princeton University, The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, and the International Centre of Photography, NYC.
