SOLO Exhibition
Yoko Kitazaki
To the next stage
A warm welcome to you all.
Yoko Kitazaki’s theme for this exhibition is
“To the next stage.”
I invite you to travel in the spirit world with me.
It is the world filled with lights and borderlines that divide us from another dimension.
Your spirit tells you that everything is one once you start seeing them through the eyes of your heart.
The first three pieces are from the new collection that is going to come out this summer, which I’m now releasing in advance. I hope you enjoy them.

Yoko Kitazaki was born in Kyoto and learned oil painting from an early age. She loved the layered colors of “Water Lilies” drawn by Monet, and she wanted to express the changing light. She majored in dyeing at Kyoto City University of Arts, and in the past, dyeing and oil painting were the means of expression.
With the changes in the world in 2020, she began to create abstract paintings using acrylic paints. Monet’s colors and the dyeing design still influences her expression.
Her current activities are exhibited at overseas exhibitions such as Divulgarti in Italy. The theme of her production is based on duality and contains the message of “Seeing the whole phenomenon from the viewpoint of the mind. ”As a feature of the work, she changes the smooth paints to“ movement, flow, luster, lumps, and cracks” and so on. This is due to her idea of rebonding the pigments.
