Artist Biography
Born in Tokyo in 1963, Kimiko Yoshida lives in Europe since 1995. Artist quotes:« Art is above all the experience of transformation. Transformation is, it seems to me, the ultimate value of the work. My Self-portraits, or what go by that name, have become a space of mutation and shifting metamorphosis. The only raison d’être of art is to transform what art alone can transform. All that’s not me, that’s what interests me. To be there where I think I am not, to disappear where I think I am, that is what matters.
« Monochromy is a metaphor of effacement and disappearance, a mark of virtuality and intangibility yearning for infiniteness. The monochrome is a pure figure of duration wherein all imagery and all narrative are dissolved. Here, before the infinite colour, the gaze is exposed to the infiniteness of Time. This paradoxical representation is presented each time like an impossibility, a powerlessness, and a precariousness. It is this effect of incompleteness which gives the idea of a rigorous unrepresentable, unlocatable space, the idea of a space beyond the image where representation exceeds the location of representation. »
