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.
