Hiroyasu Tsuri is a visual artist whose practice spans studio painting, large-scale murals, and site-responsive installations. Drawing from experiences painting in public spaces across Japan, Australia, and Europe, Hiroyasu’s work explores gesture, movement, and the relationship between physical action and form. His approach emphasises process, intuition, and collaboration, positioning making itself as a central part of the artwork rather than just the final outcome.

This episode was shot on location at Backwoods Gallery during the running of Hiroyasu’s exhibition ‘Physical Action as Thinking Form’. He shares how physical action shapes his creative process, why movement, gesture, and making are inseparable from thinking, what it means to treat process as part of the artwork rather than just the outcome, how working in public spaces and murals has influenced his studio practice, why relinquishing control can open space for intuition and chance, how tools, materials, and the body collaborate in the act of making, what non-verbal communication reveals about creativity and connection, how this philosophy extends beyond art into life and decision-making, and so much more.
