Many young generations (in Japan) who want to do art are influenced by his activities - Bloomberg

""Many young generations (in Japan) who want to do art are influenced by his activities"" -- Bloomberg

Author Information

Suiko means ""Fool on the planet"" in Japanese Kanji lettering and Suiko embodies this in his dynamic and fluid artwork. His style uses irregular shapes, bold colors and cutting lines which work alongside his deconstructed Kanji letters. He fuses this calligraphic visual language with themes from Japanese wood-block printing and modern European graffiti. Growing up in and around Hiroshima he has spent his years developing into one of his country's best known graffiti writers and continues to be inspired by Hiroshima and the freedom of graffiti and its potential as an expressive art form.
