Kudo perceives everyday scenery and objects that are often overlooked with her unique sensibility, constructing images through her own emotions and memories. She then depicts the grand narratives that seem to radiate from everyday life on her canvas, using an expressive idiom replete with vibrant color that is dynamic yet delicate.

Regarding the title of this exhibition, “Seeing With Myself,” as well as her new works, Kudo says: “I still feel as if my past self, who has been to many places, is still faintly there, so I created these works in the hope that viewers would be able to look at this scenery as if they were doing so with their past selves.”

Even the same person in the same place can appear dramatically illuminated or clearly defined depending on the passage of time and the angle of the light. The interplay of landscapes and emotions, visible and invisible elements, and opposing entities brings one’s existence into sharp focus. Kudo’s works convey how such a profound dialogue with daily life can transform the world and bring its radiant energy to the surface. We hope you will take the opportunity to visit this exhibition.
