Now Open: ‘Yoko Matsumoto: Gazed at by Nature’ at White Cube Seoul ✨
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.
In an essay accompanying the exhibition, art historian Reiko Tomii writes: ‘Taken together, her works speak to her ambition and tenacity in overcoming the negative legacy of modernism in her homeland by creating something uniquely her own. With these series, she has negotiated one crucial tension in the formation of Japanese modernist painting.’
📍 ‘Gazed at by Nature’ will be on view until 14 August 2026 at White Cube Seoul.
