Meguru Yamaguchi

Meguru Yamaguchi pushes the boundaries of painting and gestural abstraction through his sculptural paintings. The Japanese artist’s “Cut & Paste” technique consists of applying layers of paint onto plastic sheets to dry, later removing and pasting them onto canvases or wooden boards. The result is a vibrant, abstract three-dimensional collage. His breakthrough work Out Of Bounds # 87 – December (2018) demonstrates unconstrained gesture as he explores the liberating potential of painting. Appearing as though they are bursting out of the surface, Yamaguchi’s paintings are sophisticated combinations of color and form that express movement and poetry. Though influenced by Japanese street culture and street artists such as KAWS, Futura, and Ryan McGinley, Yamaguchi is also trained in traditional painting methods, having studied painters such as Gerhard Richter and Cecily Brown. Yamaguchi, who has collaborated with brands including Uniqlo, Billionaire Boys Club, and Oakley, creates a new form of artistic expression by deviating from and destroying the preconceived notions of painting.
