Sugano Sakae: Hello Everybody!

Sugano Sakae liked to call his works drawings, even his sculptural and other three-dimensional works. His strong attachment to-and belief in-drawing goes back to childhood, informing each of his “drawings,” which function as a record of his life. Sagano’s extremely personal work is a far cry from obscure contemporary art, and serves to reaffirm the importance of intuition. Those viewing it will undoubtedly be confronted with the very nature of what it means when an artist says, “To draw is to live.” “Hello Everybody!” was both a retrospective as well as a new endeavor for Sugano.
