The friendship I and Ichigo Sugawara have goes 25 years back. It started when I happened to open an exhibition at the 'Wide gallery' in Tokyo, 1986, after his exhibition at the same gallery. By the time, when they barely had an exchange over the Korean and the Japanese photography scene, his works presenting the aged and matured object made me notice an odd resemblance from my works. However, We passed and walked on the different venue as the photographers, and we now stand on a different ground.

Ichigo Sugawara, who had worked in the various fields of photography; fine art, commercial, and editorial has concentrated his own character in his work. His understanding over the whole process of knowing the lens, the choice of proper film and the following method of printing leads his work to where he can show the motive's the most supreme status. Specially, I'm fond of the photographer's warm way of seeing an object. The cautiously captured transition of the light in his work makes the objects live and breathe even the moment may have paused. 

He has always dreamed interacting with the public uploading the pictures of the sky on his web pages as a photographic diary, and eventually, by opening a photo academy in Tokyo, his long cherished wish is attained. On Ichigo Sugawara's First exhibition in Korea, we are very pleased to share the charm of his own platinum print.

"I am still spending my days faced with various objects. When i work with something new and different, I find, fortunately, bright places, a warm place on the other side of the forest. And that arises almost as a logical necessity and has a great deal of explanatory power"
