"The position held by Kumi Sugai in the world of contemporary art is singular and somewhat paradoxical. This Japanese artist, who has just turned seventy, has lived and worked in Paris since 1952. From his earliest exhibitions, he was recognized as one of the major artists of his generation. In 1960, André Pieyre de Mandiargues wrote a study on him in the Musée de Poche collection. The Guggenheim Museum in New York reserves a special place for him. His reputation is growing in Germany, Scandinavia, and in his native Japan, where he returned briefly for the first time in 1969 after an 81-year absence when the Tokyo Museum of Modern Art commissioned a mural. The previous year, he had represented Japan at the Venice Biennale. Sugai's international reputation is constantly growing; more and more exhibitions of his work are being held, yet Sugai, devoted to his creative work like a Zen monk, rarely leaves his studio . Over the years, Sugai's painting has undergone profound changes. It developed from an instinctive art to abstract calligraphy inspired by kanji. A more matièrist period followed, and then, after several well-defined developments, came a style combining clearly defined and rational forms, which is close to Op Art and Color Field Painting. From then on, Sugai began work on series of paintings (Freeways [Autoroutes], Festival A, B, C) and favored giant formats. At the same time, he developed techniques in sculpture and lithography. Sugai's latest development, presently underway, is a general synthesis of his work. Jean-Clarence Lambert met Sugai when the artist arrived in Paris; he has closely followed his career and presented his exhibitions in Japan and elsewhere. Sugai has illustrated two of J.-C. Lambert's books of poems: La Quête sans fin (1957) and Alea (PAB, 1982), both of which are luxury editions for bibliophiles It is both as a fellow traveler and working companion that J.C. Lambert has written this first complete study of Sugai's work. Sugai's painting revolves around the principal registers of non-representational art, and the author has been able to define the "poetics" involved, drawing inspiration from the concepts that have guided his critical work from the beginning, mainly Bachelard's notion of the material imagination and its dialectical relationship with the formal imagination. With non-representational art, the images created by the artist have no reference to reality and therefore affirm themselves through their autonomy and originality. This is undoubtedly the most important achievement of contemporary art, and a body of work like Sugai's is one of the most complete illustrations of this.".
