White Cube wishes a Happy Birthday to Yoko Matsumoto 🎉⁠
⁠
Committed to the principle of ‘painting with colour and form alone’, Japanese artist Yoko Matsumoto creates immersive compositions with a reduced palette to articulate the primacy of painterly expression.⁠
⁠
Yoko begins each of her compositions without preconceived concepts or sketches: ‘creation always comes unexpectedly out of nothing. I start from nothing – ‘無’ in Japanese, with a completely empty mind. Then, by chance, wonderful fields of colour and brushstrokes appear.’ 💬⁠
⁠
📍 The artist’s upcoming exhibition at White Cube Seoul will be on view from 18 June – 15 August 2026.⁠
