About the Artist

Committed to the principle of ‘painting with colour and form alone’, the Japanese artist Yoko Matsumoto (b.1936, Tokyo) creates immersive compositions in a reduced palette that articulate the primacy of painterly expression. Produced during periods of deep concentration, her abstract, labour-intensive canvases harness the agency of colour as both a conveyor and collaborator. Over six decades, she has crafted a unique expressive visual language that is informed by lineages of Japanese art and the tenets of Western abstraction.
