Yuki Ideguchi

Born in 1992, Fukuoka

His first solo show was held in Tokyo in Summer 2015, followed by the first solo show in New York City in December 2015, at Chinese American Arts Council (CAAC)in SoHo, Manhattan. Ideguchi’ s works are based on the natural features, ideas, history and culture of Japan, with influence from China, other Asian cultures, and the United States. Waves can be seen in many of his works. Traditionally, many Japanese artists have featured the sea as a central aspect of their work because the Japanese consider the sea to be both sacred and a matter of life and death. Life and death is also important theme of his works, thus he paints skeletons, the universe in the background. His talent was recognized at 16 when he received a design award at the “Exhibition of Fukuoka Prefecture” in 2002. His work was installed in an exhibition of a private collection at the world-renowned Mori Arts Center Gallery in Tokyo in 2010, when he was 24. He moved to New York shortly after finishing his MA in Japanese painting at Tokyo University of the Arts in 2013. After moving to New York, Ideguchi changed his media from mineral, dye ink, black ink and paper to acrylic and canvas. The colors on his canvas became more vivid and his adoption of pop-style artwork has given his work a more universal, but still individual and unique, expression.
