This June, NEW is pleased to present *Khora*, a solo exhibition by painter Tatsuhiro Suizu, on view from June 5 (Fri) through June 16 (Tue), 2026.

Beginning with the act of painting landscapes, Suizu has continued his exploration of “place” through encounters with art, culture, and thought from across time and geography. His layered accumulations of innumerable lines reveal not only expansive visual fields, but also traces of a profound engagement with the very act of painting itself.

This exhibition centers on new large-scale works from *Khora*, Suizu’s ongoing series created with ink and aluminum. The title *Khora* derives from a term used by Plato in *Timaeus*, referring to a primordial “place” or receptacle from which all things emerge — a state in which subject and object remain undivided. Through these works, Suizu approaches a vision of the world in which all beings dissolve into and merge with the landscape itself, where the boundaries between self and other quietly disappear.

“With a certain primitiveness, which allows us to wonder if the realm is finally open, the oaintings manifest themselves.”

— Takashi Hiraide
(Poet / Professor Emeritus, Tama Art University)

We warmly invite you to experience the spatial world of *Khora* and the unique sense of “place” evoked through Suizu’s work at the exhibition venue.
