Kumi Sugai was an internationally renowned Japanese abstract painter who moved to Paris in 1952, transitioning from lyrical calligraphic graffiti to hard-edged geometric abstractions inspired by highway signs, speed, and sports car kinetics. His bold heraldic emblems bridged East Asian calligraphy with European Pop minimalism.
