Makiko Kudo
Solo Exhibition

Tomio Koyama Gallery TOKYO
11 May - 16 June

"The combination of the artists’ (Makiko Kudo) masterfully expressive brushwork and vibrant, almost fauvist pallet, are unusual in contemporary Japanese painting, yet are engaged in the intimate and private worlds of the “here and now” of the Micropop dialogue. While the girls in all of her paintings are not direct self-portraits, they each illicit sympathy from Kudo as well as the viewer, inviting a personal connection, a place where each of the girls can meet again, inside the viewers consciousness. Kudo’s paintings offer an individualist look at a moment that is intimately imbued with emotion, opening up a texturally imaginative and animated world."

Excerpt from the essay of the second solo exhibition of Makiko Kudo at MARC FOXX, Los Angeles, CA
