Upcoming Solo Exhibition of Ayumi Sugiyama at YUGEN Gallery Fukuoka

YUGEN Gallery Fukuoka, located in the heart of Daimyo, Fukuoka, is thrilled to announce an upcoming solo exhibition by the talented artist, Ayumi Sugiyama, set to open on June 28, 2025. This exhibition promises to be a unique experience, showcasing Sugiyama's artistic journey that integrates her passion for Ikebana, Japanese flower arrangement, with contemporary painting.

Ayumi Sugiyama has a profound connection with nature, capturing the soul of flora and the messages she perceives from the environment like entries in a diary. Since launching her artistic career in 2020, Sugiyama has swiftly gained recognition, winning awards and participating in major exhibitions throughout Japan.

Starting her path under the tutelage of Naohiro Kasuya, the fourth generation headmaster of the Ichiyo school of Ikebana, Sugiyama successfully attained her certification as a professor in 2023. Her style, described as "painting as if arranging flowers," bridges the concepts of Ikebana and visual art, emphasizing the relationship between plants and the temporal-spatial dimensions they inhabit.

Sugiyama's artistic endeavors are deeply rooted in her childhood memories of interacting with nature. She seeks to translate these interactions into artworks, preserving the feelings and recollections inspired by diverse natural elements. Her philosophy of cherishing every moment is vividly reflected in her pieces, inviting viewers to appreciate the transient beauty of existence.

In anticipation of the exhibition, attendees will have the opportunity to view and purchase Sugiyama's works from YUGEN Gallery's official online store. The exhibition itself will run from June 28 to July 10, 2025, and will be open to the public free of charge.
