It is a pleasure to announce that Nobuko Tsuchiya is now represented by Gregor Podnar. We are delighted to be the host of Tsuchiya’s first Berlin solo exhibition. Gregor Podnar is pleased to present a collection of recent and new sculptural works with Nobuko Tsuchiya joining us in Berlin to create and adapt works especially for ,,,. The exhibition is in collaboration with Anthony Reynolds, London and SCAI The Bathhouse, Tokyo.

With her intuitive use of materials, Tsuchiya builds delicate elements and layers that become part of the landscape that make up the entirety of an individual sculptural work. Tsuchiya’s visual language reflects her intense understanding of the characteristics of different materials. In her work she approaches the parameters of their physical limitations to create the sensitive and challenging sculptural works. Tsuchiya precisely transforms ubiquitous objects and detritus materials into curious microcosms. Each fragment of her uninhibited and instinctive assemblages – every material surface, component and form – are in poetic dialogue with one another and the surrounding environment.

Nobuko Tsuchiya (born in Yokohama, Japan) lives and works in Japan. Her education brought her to Europe in 1994 where she studied art at Academia Delle belle arte de Firenze, Florence before resuming studies at Goldsmith’s College and the Royal Academy, London. Galleries representing Tsuchiya, Anthony Reynolds, London and SCAI The Bathhouse, Tokyo have held several solo exhibitions of her works. Tsuchiya has also been selected for numerable exhibitions at international art institutions and museums, including, 50th Venice Biennale, Venice, Italy (2003); Saatchi Gallery, London, UK (2004); New Museum, New York, USA (2007); Busan Biennale, South Korea (2016); Mori Art Museum, Tokyo, Japan (2019); and Yorkshire Sculpture International, Leeds City Art Gallery, Leeds, UK (2019) amongst others.
