When Shin Sugino said that he was up for chatting with me – I was so excited. I knew he was wildly talented but his story makes that seem like an interesting side note. Shin’s story cannot be described as ordinary or dull – he has always challenge boundaries, continued learning and is always having fun. I look forward to seeing the work that comes out of his new darkroom!
Attached is a copy of a video produced about his last exhibit in Tokyo – due to the pandemic, his latest exhibit opening has been postponed.

Please visit Shin’s listing (https://japanesecanadianartists.com/artist/shin-sugino/) for a short bio and a selection from his personal portfolio.
