'Maybe there are too many things in Tokyo," says Katsuhiro Saiki, "because for me, New York City is the only place where I can relax -- although I think it could be said that there are too many artists in New York City."
Best known for atmospheric photographs, the personable and unpretentious Saiki, 37, left Tokyo four years ago, and has found both inspiration and success working out of a live-in studio in the NY borough of Queens. A selection of his new works, including sculptural pieces, are on view in his one-man show, "Suspension," at the new gallery SCAI X SCAI.
An offshoot of the innovative SCAI the Bathhouse gallery in Yanaka, SCAI X SCAI is a smaller, limited-hours project-space beside the Complex Building of galleries in Roppongi.
