SHUN SUDO
B. 1977 in Tokyo, Japan
currently based in Tokyo & New York
Shun Sudo is a contemporary artist based in Tokyo, known for his diverse works in painting, sculpture, and drawing. Raised in Tokyo, Sudo was influenced by both traditional Japanese culture and the city’s evolving street culture. His art explores themes of connection, peace, and love, alongside the relationship between art and movement. After moving to the U.S. in his 20s, Sudo taught himself art techniques while traveling the world.
Sudo’s practice blends elements from Japanese and American pop and street cultures—such as skateboarding, graffiti, manga, and anime—alongside traditional Japanese painting and Sumi-e (ink painting). This fusion creates a harmonious yet heterogeneous aesthetic, breaking the conventional boundaries between “high” and “low” art. While his paintings draw from Pop Art, they also carry a critical perspective on social and political issues, reflecting Sudo’s unique viewpoint on contemporary life.
