KAGURA (Sacred Music and Dance)
A dynamic composition of bold, sweeping forms and vibrant color fields evokes the rhythmic energy of traditional Japanese sacred ritual. Sugaï masterfully bridges East and West, channeling the ceremonial spirit of Kagura through a gestural, abstract visual language rooted in his distinctive postwar style. The interplay of fluid movement and structured form conjures both the sound of ancient music and the cadence of ceremonial dance.
