桑山忠明出生於日本中部工業城市名古屋。縱使他畢業於東京藝術大學 並修讀傳統日本畫,但他發現自己對嚴謹的日本畫或當時的日本當代藝術均不感興趣。 1958年,桑山與妻子兼藝術家内藤樂子一起移居紐約。在紐約,他除探索美國當代藝術亦同時創造自己獨特的風格。

在整個60年代,桑山專注創作方形和單色作品,每個作品均由垂直和水平金屬條細分。桑山於作品表面上漆及添加光澤層,製造出人造顏色和工業物料。1970年,桑山開始製作大型矩形作品,作品亦從鮮豔的色彩轉變為金屬顏色,有時亦會與淡色的色塊交替,如粉紅色和米色。接下來的十年,桑山探索油畫和新的三維質感,這標誌著藝術家重新實驗的時期。雖然桑山80年代的作品與以往的不同,但當中仍然包含早期的元素,如交織的紙條。在90年代,他的工業生產實驗進一步消除了作品中的人為痕跡。桑山利用金屬及反光材料引導觀眾對空間環境的注意。通過他的作品,藝術家試圖呈現純潔的美,並傳達一種純粹的藝術實驗。

最近,桑山的作品正在新加坡國家美術館《極簡主義:空間。燈光。實體》展覽中展出,展覽亦包括馬克·羅斯科、唐納德·賈德、安尼施.卡普爾等藝術家的作品。桑山的作品於各大博物館的重要展覽中展出,包括所羅門·R·古根漢美術館、阿姆斯特丹市立博物館和千葉市美術館。
