Eiji Sumi

In 2013 Eiji Sumi participated in the Art on Farm series by the Jim Thompson Farm. His work Cocoon was a giant Cocoon, using recycle material of silk fross, and textile and bamboo. The public could enter Cocoon and it was intended to "express the feelings and sensations that human beings would have, if they were smaller than silkworms..." hoping to help "...people to appreciate the things that we have in our life that we do not usually think of or imagine where they come from".

In 2013 Eiji held an exhibition called Under Construction at WTF Gallery. It was a mixed-media exhibition inspired by his fascination with construction sites. His aim in the exhibition was described as attempting to "evoke a sensation that sways between gritty dystopia and avant-garde development" , and was described as transporting "viewers into a scene hovering between progressive expansion and dystopian decay" , .

In 2007 he participated in the Land[e]scape Exhibition at the Onishi Gallery in New York City curated by Eric C. Shiner (then director of the Andy Warhol Gallery). The work he exhibited consisted of “incredibly complex scenes of actual places he has visited in cities around the world, including New York and Amsterdam, in one long connected line, an effect that gives the images a tension-ridden feeling of instability in excess” .

Eiji was born in Tokyo. After moving to New York City in 1993 he transformed his career in fine art to include design, multimedia and installation. While there he gained attention for a variety of project and worked as an artist assistant to Italian master painter Stefano Castronovo.
