High Noon is proud to present Taro Suzuki’s solo debut with the gallery, Snakes on a Plane. Suzuki’s introduction to the New York art world began when he was recruited in 8th grade to work on various light shows at a venue, making slides with crystal liquid material and dyes which would then be live-projected across the stage. At the same time, he was introduced to the vases of Duchamp, where the optical and conceptual collided. From these beginnings, the utilization of performance and light as media have always been present in Suzuki’s work, although both media are explored in their relation to objects. Whether expressed as textures created from raking pigment across the concrete of his studio floor, meticulously generated centripetal fluorescent circles, or the manipulation of a metal surface, Suzuki’s unification of gesture and perception into a corporeal object can be best described as “minimal action painting.”
