About Hirotaka Suzuki
Perhaps I am painting the cruelty of contemporary life because it is in opposition to my naïve outlook. In contrast with the physical features of my paintings, I think I am visualizing my feeling of anxiety in contemporary life. Though I do not think I am fully aware of the relationship between this cruelty and my anxiety, I represent this unsure feeling as figuratively as possible, and I am trying to figure it out in my painting. Although there are some prominent aspects of our contemporary world, such as commercialism and materialism, I cannot say who my enemy is. Some of the threats might involve the art world; however, to protest such issues, overtly does not suit my personal outlook.
About the Product
I created these series of paintings dedicated to "Tomorrow's Joe (Ashita no Joe)," which is one of the most legendary and influential comics/ animations in Japan. This was a boxing story. A punk orphan guy, Joe Yabuki grew the contender for the world champion. Though the original comic was run from 1968 to 1973, lots of people still remember and even adore him. I made these series of paintings with utmost respect for Joe Yabuki.
