桑山忠明出生于日本中部工业城市名古屋。纵使他毕业于东京艺术大学 并修读传统日本画,但他发现自己对严谨的日本画或当时的日本当代艺术均不感兴趣。1958年,桑山与妻子兼艺术家内藤乐子一起移居纽约。在纽约,他除探索美国当代艺术亦同时创造自己独特的风格。

在整个60年代,桑山专注创作方形和单色作品,每个作品均由垂直和水平金属条细分。桑山于作品表面上漆及添加光泽层,制造出人造颜色和工业物料。1970年,桑山开始制作大型矩形作品,作品亦从鲜艳的色彩转变为金属颜色,有时亦会与淡色的色块交替,如粉红色和米色。接下来的十年,桑山探索油画和新的三维质感,这标志着艺术家重新实验的时期。虽然桑山80年代的作品与以往的不同,但当中仍然包含早期的元素,如交织的纸条。在90年代,他的工业生产实验进一步消除了作品中的人为痕迹。桑山利用金属及反光材料引导观众对空间环境的注意。通过他的作品,艺术家试图呈现纯洁的美,并传达一种纯粹的艺术实验。

近年,桑山的作品在新加坡国家美术馆《极简主义:空间·光·物体》展览中展出,展览亦包括马克·罗斯科、唐纳德·贾德、安尼施·卡普尔等艺术家的作品。桑山的作品于各大博物馆的重要展览中展出,包括所罗门·R·古根汉美术馆、阿姆斯特丹市立博物馆和千叶市美术馆。
