YOKOMIZO MIYUKI

YOKOMIZO Miyuki 横溝美由紀

 

Born in Tokyo in 1968. Received a BFA from the Department of Sculpture at Tama Art University in 1994. Fellowship of the Agency of Cultural Affairs Program of Overseas Study for Upcoming Artists.

Since the 1990s, Yokomizo began presenting light-filled minimalistic installations that use plastics and other familiar objects in Japan and abroad. In recent years, she has been attempting to construct new landscapes by combining installation works and two-dimensional works that reimagine the installation space onto canvas.

Major exhibitions include Plastic Age: Art and Design (Museum of Modern Art, Saitama, 1998), Slanting House (Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, 2002), Purloined Nature (Kawamura Memorial Museum of Art, 2003), Passage to the Future: Art from a New Generation in Japan organized by the Japan Foundation (World Touring Exhibition, 2004-2019), Landscape: Over the Soft horizon (Pola Museum Annex, 2021), ABSTRACTION: The Genesis and Evolution of Abstract Painting Cézanne, Fauvism, Cubism and on to Today  (Artizon Museum, 2023), and among others.
