MIZUMA Sueo
(Gallery Director)MIZUMA Sueo was born in Tokyo, and graduated from the Department of Arts and Literature at Seijo University. He started his art career in the 1980's, established the Mizuma Art Gallery in Aoyama in 1994 (Now in Ichigayatamachi, Shinjuku-ku). Since the 2000's, he expands his international activities and began to participate in global art fairs. He introduces artists whose works offer a harsh, ironic, critique against contemporary consumerist society. Curating some exhibitions such as "Zipangu" actively, he is dedicated to discover, support and introduce young Japanese and Asian Artists to the international art scene. For the further development and expansion of the Japanese art market, he opened a gallery space in Beijing (now only a office space) in 2008, and Mizuma Gallery in Singapore in 2012. His first book "Art ni totte kachi towa nanika (meaning: What is the worth of art?)" was published in 2014. |
