Yoshihito Suzuki

Born in Tokyo in 1987, based in Barcelona.
After graduating in Intercultural Communication from Hosei University in 2010, studied printmaking at La Llotja in Barcelona from 2012 to 2013.
Has participated in group exhibitions and art festivals mainly in Spain. In 2023, held his first solo exhibition “Band-aid for dinosaur" at Centro Cívico Guinardó.  Mainly exhibiting his work at the gallery La Plataforma.
The artist is interested in climate change and mass extinction occurring worldwide, and the main theme of his work is “Approach of the artificial and the natural". He also attempts to bring together other opposing concepts such as the sacred and the vulgar, the past and the present, through works that use ready-made objects found around us as their motifs. Now he is focusing on empty cans among artificial objects as the motif. Dumped empty cans with its mouth open represent "death" and the "emptiness" that the contemporary society feels. Through the creation of sculptures of idols and kitschy monster with empty cans as heads, the artist attempts to surface the timeless immateriality.
