In 'Table for Us', artist Susumu Kamijo reimagines still life, combining whimsy and surrealism with layered floral and animal forms that evoke nostalgia and vitality.
Kamijo's compositions, featuring vases, food, and fish, evoke familiarity yet defy traditional still life conventions, transforming the genre into a vivid exploration of memory and fantasy.
His colors reference Philip Guston and Van Gogh, with broad arenas of hues acquiring depth beneath a gauzy layer, showcasing his brilliance as a colorist.
Kamijo utilizes a controlled mix of cultural references and aesthetic influences, capturing moments in his works that linger yet resist full comprehension, embodying suspended decay.
