Born in Japan in 1961, Hiroshi Suzuki moved to the UK in 1994 to study first at Camberwell College, London<br />
and then at the Royal College <strong>of</strong> Art in London. After establishing his studio in England in 1998, he now<br />
lives and works in Japan. In a statement about his practice he states that he has a “deep interest in fluent<br />
expressions <strong>of</strong> nature and pursues imagery in silver with a wide spectrum <strong>of</strong> expression. My work can be<br />
interpreted as the embodiment <strong>of</strong> an intuitive sense <strong>of</strong> organic abstraction, whilst alluding to functional<br />
tradition.” <strong>The</strong> <strong>Scottish</strong> <strong>Gallery</strong> noticed the incredible talent <strong>of</strong> Hiroshi Suzuki during his time at the Royal<br />
College <strong>of</strong> Art and he had his first solo show at the gallery in 2004 and then in October 2007. We were<br />
instrumental in getting his early work into museum collections and he is now represented in collections<br />
worldwide. In 2010, he was honoured with a retrospective exhibition at Goldsmiths’ Hall, London.<br />
Public Collections include:<br />
Aberdeen Art <strong>Gallery</strong> and Museums, Aberdeen; Crafts Council, London; National Museums <strong>of</strong> Scotland,<br />
Edinburgh; Museum <strong>of</strong> Art and Design, New York.<br />
