About the Item
Vanguard 02-1 Bronze Sculpture by Kodai Suga
Dimensions: W 50 x D 7.5 x H 40 cm
Materials: Bronze
Kodai Suga’s work features an evocative modernistic silhouette that has been imbued with dramatic contrasts of colour within Suga’s unique style of patina, encapsulating the artist’s wish to achieve and evoke an ancient, or perhaps unforeseen beauty that is both distant, far away, and beyond the horizons of human consciousness. Using bronze casting techniques to create his forms from moulds created from plaster or clay, Suga then takes various chemical compounds such as chlorides, sulfides, sulfates and
carbonates and applies them to the surfaces of his bronzes in self-taught improvision, thereby bringing out the green patina that naturally forms on copper and bronzes, often referred to as Verdigris. In particular, chlorides are the element that bring out Suga’s vivid greens and blues in a chemical reaction with the base metal, and it is the spontaneous changing in colours that Suga tries to embrace and wield to poignant effect. These techniques differ greatly from traditional Japanese patination, and this is purely intentional, for Suga believes that the traditional Japanese techniques will hinder his ability to create expressions unique to his state of mind. Instead, such traditions may shackle his creativity and bind him to preconceived notions of what metal must be. Instead, Suga tries to find natural expressions within metal that are ultimately far more contemporary in feel and ambiance, thereby allowing the artist to fully express the aesthetic landscapes within himself.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
