Kumi Sugaï — Soyokazé
Kumi Sugaï

Soyokazé

1957

A dynamic composition of bold, sweeping forms and vibrant color fields, *Soyokazé* reflects Sugaï's signature fusion of Japanese calligraphic tradition with European abstraction. The title, meaning "gentle breeze" in Japanese, is evoked through fluid, rhythmic shapes that seem to move across the canvas with lightness and energy. Rich, contrasting hues and confident gestural marks demonstrate Sugaï's masterful balance between spontaneity and precise visual harmony.
