Tatsuhiro Suizu
Khora
June 5 (Fri) – June 16 (Tue), 2026
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 paintings manifest themselves.”
