About Reiko Kubota

Born: Tokyo, Japan

Currently lives and works in London

Viewers will be located within a space that is both upon and beyond the surface when looking at these paintings in real life. Exploring new methods of constructing forms and ways of inventing with materials deeply rooted in the history of painting, I create images which, while non-referential, are also based on the experiences of things seen. The work is a crystallization of the observed world presented in forms which seek to distil the essence of those visual stimuli.

Olfactory Art and Science Research

Olfactory Art and Science Research is an international project that explores how our sense of smell relates to well-being through engagement with art. The project brings together artistic and scientific approaches to investigate how creative use of odour can positively influence how we feel and relate to the world. https://www.olfactoryresearch.net/

Many collaborative works have been developed with artist Nathan Cohen. More about his practice can be found at nathancohen.co.uk.
