Painting with Paper: The Art of Akiko Sugiyama

Painting with Paper: The Art of Akiko Sugiyama

Gary R. Libby Entry Court
Open October 26, 2019 through February 2, 2020

An exhibit of work by Akiko Sugiyama who creates her pieces by folding, rolling, twisting, cutting, painting, texturizing, sewing, wrapping, and spinning a range of papers, often incorporating those forms with found objects, such as branches and other materials. While her process is intricate, the finished pieces often possess a profound simplicity with references to the natural world.
