Yuichiro Kikuma

Yuichiro Kikuma's paintings incorporate non-painterly methods to create conditions for unexpected images to emerge. In recent years he has predominantly used black ink and explored household devices and found objects from the natural world as compositional resources and mark making tools; these tools enable him to work indirectly, often in a mechanical and repetitive manner which leaves space for calculated chance. Kikuma’s works attempt to visualise the invisible forces, patterns or rhythms that exist around us in daily life, in the same way as any landscapes are created as a result of their specific climate.

Yuichiro Kikuma was born in 1982 in Chiba, Japan. He is a graduate of Central Saint Martins (2016) and Wimbledon College of Arts (2010). He lives and works in London.
