Miyuki Tsugami

Born in 1973, Tokyo, raised in Osaka. Lives and works in Kanagawa.

Completed a Master’s degree in fine art from the Kyoto University of the Arts in 1998. The artistic maneuver of Tsugami’s painting is based on her long-standing reexamination and continuous exploration derived from her stay in New York in 1996 to her time on a residency program hosted by Ohara Museum of Art in Okayama in 2005, when she established a distinctive practice to create a painting from numerous sketches taken in her everyday life.
As part of the Gotoh Memorial Foundation Award in Fine Art Division she was given in 2013, the one-year experience to stay in the UK – known for the birthplace of the landscape painting cultivated her practice further and the artistic production with contemplation over the many painters of all time.
The titles on her works are prefixed with “View” which they originate from a perspective that the artistic depiction of her painting extends more than just a single subject or a scene, moreover, it encompasses a wider point of view and its complexity.
