Japanese-born painter Tomoya Matsuzaki draws inspiration from food, foraging and the cultural differences he has experienced between his native country and the UK, where he has lived for the past two decades. Paintings evoke, rather than depict, the landscape; soft-edged marks drift and overlap, calling to mind the blurriness of misty hills or a rainy seascape. Works are painted in subdued tones onto both sides of irregularly-shaped jesmonite, with holes allowing us to see from one side to the other. For Matsuzaki, landscapes are a manifestation of our collective emotions and psyche.

Tomoya had a solo exhibition, Petrichor Grey, with Devonshire Collective in 2023.
