Artist
Shinsuke Aso
Born 1979 in Gunma, Japan, Shinsuke Aso headed to the US after graduating Kitakanto School of Fine Arts in 2000. He is a 2004 graduate of the School of Visual Arts and is currently based in New York. His long-term projects include creating collages with materials collected from his daily life as well as his SAPC Project–selling postcards made from cardboard and packaging material for 25 cents each. Through these undertakings, Aso explores modes of expressions that encourages unique interpretations and conclusions from each viewer, recognizing individual identities and experiences.
