Dance For Me in The Dusk follows The Sinner at Dusk as our second collaboration with poodle-peddling artist Susumu Kamijo.

Translating the boldly fragmented geometry of his painting into a wall-mounted wooden sculpture, the first of its kind by the artist, the work balances the glamour of Kamijo’s canine muse with his penchant for darkly ambiguous narratives. In this respect, the instruction to dance for, rather than with, is very much deliberate.

Behind the scenes

Susumu Kamijo in a black tshirt and glasses smiling

Susumu Kamijo2 collaborationsKamijo is known for his colourful, stylised poodles. The Japanese artist works across paper and canvas using a mixture of materials including oil pastel, pencil and pen, as well as acrylic and oil paint. Kamijo’s use of block colour and isolated shapes accrue into recognisable compositions with a hard-edged, graphic style. Varied texture is created through cross-hatching, repetitive patterning and layering paint. Born in Nagano in 1975, Kamijo attests the blocked-out compositions of his work to ancient techniques of Japanese woodblock printing such as Ukiyo-e. The works also evoke the Obsessional artists, a movement fixated on the act of endless repetition spearheaded by Yayoi Kusama and Tomio Miki in 1960s Japan. Wide, minimalist landscapes bring a sense of perspective to Kamijo’s work, which plays with notions of domesticity and the everyday.

Absolutely gorgeous! I have admired Danielle McKinney's work and Shelter is exceptionally beautiful. The colors, the texture - I was delighted when I opened the box. The frame and floating presentation is also perfectly matched to the beauty of the piece. Also, well done on the shipping - it came thoroughly protected. Thank you!
