This exhibition succeeds to Kudo’s most recent show with Tomio Koyama Gallery in 2013, and is her sixth solo show. On “flower-patterned futon”, the work made for this exhibition she remarks, “For a long time I have wanted to paint chrysanthemums. I often forget the contents of books after I read them, but I remember only sentences that left me a strong impression. I always remembered a short novel by Osamu Dazai in which there is a lodger who paints nothing but chrysanthemum flowers – it comes to my mind every time I see a chrysanthemum flower. The futons nowadays are plain, but when I was a child my futon had Japanese-style flowers on it and I think the central part of the cover was mesh to be able to glimpse those flowers. Perhaps it was simply an association of ideas more than a motive, but that is the sort of idea behind these paintings.”
