EmploymentHiroshi Suzuki studied industrial design in Japan but became dissatisfied with what he perceived as the corporate division between two-dimensional design and the finished object. He saw sculpture as a more personal and immediate way of working, and began to create large-scale installations to commission. After moving to London he studied metalwork at Camberwell College of Art, where he developed his unique method of raising metal, using a variety of hammers either in the air or over any other suitable object, and then at the Royal College of Art where he pursued his interest in patination (the surface decoration of metal).
