Ko Kubota
Ko Kubota was born in Kurume, Fukuoka, Japan in 1965, graduated from Tama Art University in 1990 with a degree in oil painting, and after exhibiting in Tokyo, studied at the Kunstakademie Münster (DAAD scholarship 1997-99) and the University of Media Art Cologne (Fellowship 2001-2002). He lived and worked in Düsseldorf, Germany until 2016. He currently resides in Kurume, Fukuoka, Japan.
Since 2012, Kubota has been showing oil paintings, mainly the "Lichter (plural of Licht, German for "light")" series, which consists of bright colors and clear, regular strokes on canvas. Before that, however, the artist has been engaged in a wide range of creative activities, beginning with three-dimensional works made of wood, experimental photography, sound installations and videos, drawings using ink and acrylic on paper, works using postcards, and three-dimensional works painted on driftwood.
The composition of this exhibition fully conveys the appeal of Kubota's recent oil paintings. At the same time, the exhibition also includes photographic works made from 1999 to 2000 using magazine photographs, drawings on large paper made from 2005 to 2009, and a series of light drawings on postcards made in 2008 and 2009, in an attempt to provide a glimpse of Kubota's transition since his move to Germany in 1997.
