At +2 Gallery, we present exhibitions by emerging young artists, linking our programs with curated exhibitions at +1art. As a platform for experimentation, the gallery organizes projects that make use of a small, non–white cube space.
From March to April, we are pleased to present Maiko Suzuki’s exhibition.
In Suzuki’s works, objects familiar from our everyday lives appear cloaked in surfaces unlike those we usually recognize. Subjects that are dismantled and reassembled from multiple directions evoke a sense of awkwardness and subtle discomfort alongside humor, offering a feeling of release from fixed images. The more familiar an object is, the more our perception tends to become patterned, shifting it into a conceptual existence distanced from reality. Suzuki’s works quietly yet decisively present this discrepancy as a palpable sense of unease.
We invite you to experience the world of Maiko Suzuki, constructed through woodblock prints and works in three dimensions.

SUZUKI Maiko
Much of everyday life passes by us unconsciously, treated as “familiar.” Household objects and landscapes sink quietly into the background of our vision, rarely questioned for their roles or meanings. In this exhibition, the subtle deviations and discomforts that arise when our perspective on such subjects is slightly warped are made visible. Light rarely travels straight, rendering the edges of objects uncertain. Through the repetitive and layered technique of woodcut, the ordinary is reprinted, taking on altered colors and forms as it comes to life. The reprinted everyday carries both a sense of familiarity and emptiness, prompting viewers to reconsider the very nature of their gaze.
