Yokoo Tatsuhiko: Beyond the Realm of Meditation

About the Exhinbition

YOKOO Tatsuhiko (1928–2015) is a painter who worked coming and going between Japan and Europe. He held his solo exhibition in Switzerland in 1965. From then on, he achieved fame for his visionary paintings inspired by the Bible and mythology. From the 1980s onwards, he set up his base in Germany, where, influenced by Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) and Zen thought, he incorporated meditation into his work and unfolded abstract paintings alluding to calligraphy. As this artist’s first retrospective in Japan, his artistic career is surveyed mainly through the works which were left in his studio in Japan.
