Solo exhibition
Felipe Suzuki
Sep 19 – Oct 24, 2026 West Hollywood
The São Paulo painter Felipe Suzuki’s first solo show with Karma: five quiet, luminous oil paintings from 2026 that begin as still lifes and are painted from memory rather than from life.
Suzuki arranges objects as a still-life painter would, then paints the sensation of having looked at them. He works mostly with a four-pigment palette named after the ancient Greek painter Apelles, building his surfaces slowly in layers of oil, sometimes mixed with calcium carbonate, on canvases mounted on wood to carry their weight.
His shapes are simple: a pale semicircle rising like a moon, pleated strips that recall the folding screens in his Japanese family’s homes, slim upright bars that bring Minimalist sculpture to mind. The gaps between them count as much as the forms, in the spirit of the Japanese idea of ma; one painting shows a small seascape hanging in a white room.
