This event has ended.

“Whirl and Swallow” debuts the Japanese-born artist Tomoko Sugimoto’s latest stitch and paint works on canvas. The artwork showcased in this exhibition are inspired by Sugimoto’s affinity for delicate line drawing and an experimentation of creating line work with hand and machine stitching. Her new work delivers her vision of our inner feelings, organic movement and thought, that are constantly in motion and exist solely in that moment.
Tokyo native Tomoko Sugimoto graduated from Musashino Art University in her hometown, where she studied graphic design, before proceeding to earn another BFA in Illustration from the School of Visual Arts in New York City. For the last decade, she’s worked as the Painting Director and a core figure of Takashi Murakami’s Kai Kai Kiki studio, traveling around the world to produce Murakami’s shows and retrospectives. Sugimoto’s personal work has been exhibited in group shows in New York, Miami and Tokyo. “Whirl and Swallow” is her first solo show in the U.S.
