Susumu Kamijo (Japanese, b. 1975) - Abstract Poodle Print, Signed (2022, Screen Print in Colors)
Susumu Kamijo (Japanese, b. 1975)
White Columns Portfolio Print, 2022
Screen print in colors
29 × 23.6 in (73.7 × 60 cm)
Edition of 100; signed, dated, and numbered en verso (No. 75/100)
This screen print by Susumu Kamijo was produced in 2022 as part of the White Columns Print Portfolio 2021, a limited edition project published by White Columns, New York’s oldest alternative art space. Issued in an edition of 100, the portfolio was conceived as a fundraising initiative to support the organization's exhibitions and programming. Kamijo’s contribution to this portfolio is consistent with his broader practice, which is best known for its highly stylized depictions of poodles—motifs through which the artist explores the intersection of figuration and abstraction via bold color, controlled line, and graphic precision.
Kamijo has exhibited widely in both solo and group exhibitions across the United States, Europe, and Asia. His work has been the subject of solo presentations at venues such as Perrotin (Paris, Hong Kong), Venus Over Manhattan (New York), Jack Hanley Gallery (New York), GNYP Gallery (Berlin), Maki Gallery (Tokyo), and Stems Gallery (Brussels), among others. His work has also been featured in group exhibitions at WHAT Museum (Tokyo), Carl Kostyál (Stockholm), The Pit (Los Angeles), and Alex Berggruen Gallery (New York)..
Kamijo’s practice is characterized by a deliberate synthesis of cartoon aesthetics, Japanese calligraphic influence, and the traditions of Pop and minimalist art. His poodle portraits, often rendered in a hard-edged, high-contrast style, serve not merely as subject matter but as compositional frameworks for exploring the possibilities of line, shape, and surface. This print encapsulates those concerns within a reproducible medium, offering a concise example of his formal vocabulary and conceptual interests.
