Yasuo SUMI
Process
Sumi loves to use combs, abaci and vibrators for paint, and he persists in using these tools without changing, in contrast with the other members of the Gutai, who continuously search for new tools and materials, probably because they reflect his nature. I think that one of his features is that the use of those tools is not a way for been quick in tracing many lines at the same time, but a more dynamic way difficult to control.

Sumi creates most of his works at home in Itami City, in the garden. Here we can see him holding a bangasa (Japanese umbrella). January 2006.
