Aki Yamamoto

Yamamoto is a painter who is known for her exhibition at “Vision of Contemporary Art (VOCA)”, the exhibition which has opened up a career to young artists creating flat works, in 2002, 2006 and “Domani”, the exhibition for artists who were dispatched overseas from the Agency for Cultural Affairs to present their works, in 2008. After moving back from the United States in 2006 where she resided as a researcher abroad dispatched from the Agency for Cultural Affairs, she has been exploring different forms of expression including not only oil paintings but also three-dimensional works made out of felt that she brought from the United States. Yamamoto cuts out shapes of various objects such as scenery in daily life, images of magazines, light and shadow through windows, and transforms them into artworks by reconstructing layers of the shapes on canvas.

Yamamoto's first exhibition at Art Front Gallery since the spring of 2010 focuses on her representative oil paintings that show her process of reconstruction as a more improvised form of expression.
