Exhibition Untitled TZT084 duo exhibition
Eric Lugtigheid and Takashi Suzuki

March 1 – March 17 

Eric Lugtheid

Eric Lugtigheid (NL 1959) is an artist with a passion for spatial work, painting and digital art. His work is steeped in abstraction and is created using very diverse techniques and materials, constantly looking for the new. One of the sources of inspiration for Eric Lugtigheid is the capsule shape, which plays a prominent role in his work. The simple, yet powerful form offers limitless possibilities for manipulation and transformation into new shapes and combinations of color and techniques, both analogue and digital.
The constant urge for new ideas and challenges and to push his artistic boundaries makes his work unique and bears witness to a unique visual language that is constantly evolving, but always remains recognizable as having been created by him.

Takashi Suzuki

“There are paintings that invite you to become absorbed in them, because they lure you in, as it were, within the boundaries of their edge or frame. That enchantment usually comes from a representation or from the use of color that suggests depth. That is the classic Western European idea of ​​a painting: a window on a performance in which you can place yourself. However, a painting can also be closed, offering only a surface that does not want to give the impression of depth. Then you move to the more plastic arts: the relief, originally intended as a fairly flat sculpture, which tried to suggest greater depth through shallowness. However, a relief can also present itself as a work that does not suggest greater depth than it has.

The diptych TS2106 by Takashi Suzuki (Japan 1948) is such a work. It is a work that, as a relief, only shows the depth it actually has. At the same time, the two colors also offer charisma rather than trying to lure you in. The two colors – yellow and gray – shine out in a dull way, as it were.”
