REIKO KINOSHITA

Born in 1982 in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan, Kinoshita graduated from the oil painting course at Musashino Art University's Graduate School of Art and Design in 2009. Kinoshita's paintings explore the boundary between human intent and the unconscious by utilising wrinkles and folds, light-sensitisation and ageing due to sun exposure. Kinoshita's paintings are created by spraying the paint onto the canvas rather than using a traditional brush technique. In recent years, Kinoshita has been contemplating the question, "Is it possible to capture the passage of time itself in a painting?" and to create works that continue to change after their completion by utilising the shape memory of the object itself. Major solo exhibitions include; "KEI-distant" Crossing/Gifu (2019), "There is evening and there is the morning" LOOP HOLE/Tokyo (2018), "Day behavior" HAGISO/Tokyo (2017), "Fluent device" Switch Point/Tokyo (2017), "Daylight hours" Komagome1-14ca/Tokyo (2016), "A spot in the sun" Kiyosu Haruhi Museum of Art/Aichi (2015), etc. Other exhibitions include "Utsusu" Duo Exhibition - Second2/Tokyo (2020), "Spring-Fever" group exhibition at Komagome Soko/Tokyo (2017), and Kinoshita was the 27th Holbein Scholarship Student in 2012.
