About the Show
​
Ukiyo (浮世): Fleeting Life
In Edo-period Japan, amid natural disasters and famine, a positive culture emerged from the street among ordinary people. As the world was harsh and transient, they chose to fully enjoy and celebrate the present moment. During the Edo period, the “Ukiyo” also became a stage for what we would now call pop culture, centered on fashion, trends, and entertainment. Popular culture of the time, especially Ukiyo-e prints, reflected the spirit of common people who embraced the beauty and immediacy of the present despite the difficulties of daily life.
Through the culture of “Ukiyo”, we see the energy of ordinary people living strongly in their everyday lives while finding joy in the present. This collection was created as a respect to that movement—the origin of pop culture that emerged more than 200 years ago. In this collection, I sought to merge inspiration drawn from the pop culture of the Edo period with influences from modern street art. Traditional patterns from Edo-period and elements of spray paint found in contemporary street art. The fusion of natural organic color palette and modern urban neon colors. Japanese aesthetic sensibilities such as asymmetry and imperfection, with the sense of beauty found within the chaos of the modern city. And the search for motifs that connect the Edo period with the present day.
Through these artistic experiments, the works rediscover the enduring energy and strength of people living within street culture, linking the past to the present. They also reaffirm that pop culture and street culture, in every era, are shaped by people who live powerfully in the streets while finding joy in each moment of everyday life.

About the Artist
​
Born and raised in Tokyo, now residing in Vancouver Canada. Taking influences from those totally different environment to create the unique style of artworks. This unique juxtaposition of settings fuels his creative expression, giving rise to a style that harmoniously blends disparate elements. In his work, exploring the intersection of urban and organic, bold and subtle, East and West.
The essence of his art lies in its ability to convey strong, true energy found amidst the real and unreal, assembling abstract elements which are composed of bright colors and neutral colors into organic shapes that represent our environment, existence, and the dynamic flow of everyday life. His work is a visual representation of current affairs, information, and individual passion, making visible the invisible energies that define our collective experience.
Taka Sudo has had shows in Vancouver, Toronto, Los Angeles, Portland, Tokyo, NY etc. His artworks can be seen on the walls in various cities as murals, also can be seen as graphics on numerous brands such as snowboards, skis, skateboards, beer bottles etc.
