Yoshihiro Kikuchi / 菊地良博
born 1980 Miyagi, Japan
Lives and works in Tokyo
EDUCATION
Musashino Art University (Visual Communication Design)
Through a process of repetition, fusing both the physical and psychological, Kikuchi’s work finds expression through obsessive paintings and collages. From the challenges he sets himself, as evident in the sketchbooks, the minute process results in boldly colourful images, intermingling forms almost seductively grotesque in detail and reflective of the making process. This is for him a deeply personal activity, incorporating different media including the audible and physical, to create art work that encapsulates a psychological interpretation of his experiences, rendered with clarity in what may be perceived as an overly complex world.
