MIYUKI YOKOMIZO

MIYUKI YOKOMIZO was born in Tokyo in 1968 and graduated from Tama Art University, Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Sculpture in 1994.
In her early career, she created site-specific installations that emphasized time, space, and light.

In recent years, she has focused on sculptural paintings and the "line" series, which originated from the installation "red cage" (2003), where transparent tubes filled with red liquid extend throughout the space.
Her signature "line" series reinterprets painting as sculpture, constructing three-dimensional compositions by stretching and layering paint-coated threads.
She has also developed the "angle" series (since 2020), which applies the same technique in a new approach.
Additionally, she explores the reconstruction of her past installations into two-dimensional works, further expanding her artistic expression.
