Aki Kuroda - Figure Non Figure

The human, in Kuroda's painting, seems to take on an almost geometric appearance, the figure has become a symbol.

Weeping through the light, 1991 - 270 x 160 cm
Blue Figure, 2008 - 300 x 200 cm
Passage VI, 2005 - 200 x 200 cm

Aki Kuroda seeks to disrupt the balance between figurative and non-figurative. For him, as for many artists such as Miró, Klee, Picabia or Man Ray, but also Rothko or Kelly, an abstract art which refuses the link to reality cannot exist.

Untitled red, 1989 - 270 x 160 cm

The female silhouette that punctuates his work resembles a caryatid. But this figure is not totally human, in a futuristic, and perhaps premonitory, projection, the being, freed from its fleshly envelope, takes on the appearance of a robot, cold and devoid of sensitivity.

Woodcuts, 1994 and engraving, 1990

Sometimes this slender shape transforms into a narrow opening, an entrance, a breach into another world. It becomes the passage between reality and dream, between Earth and the Cosmos.
