Yoko Matsumoto, Seoul (2026)
Gallery Exhibition
Yoko Matsumoto
Gazed at by Nature
18 June – 14 August 2026
Surveying Yoko Matsumoto’s career-defining pursuit of luminosity, ‘Gazed at by Nature’ brings together paintings and works on paper from 1985 to the present day. Attesting to a lifelong negotiation between two worlds, Matsumoto initially worked with water-based acrylic paint for its likeness to East Asian sumi ink, before going on to master the medium of oil paint so integral to Western art history and tradition.
