Kazuyo Kinoshita is one of the artists representative of Japanese Cotemporary Art in Kansai regeion. From 1973 to 1980, she applied a sort of electric reproduction technology called “Xerography” (blueprint.) In order to accomplish the works, the artist took pictures of papery objects which had been drawn, folded or warped by herself, and then depicted planar image of the same line or circle with the image in the objects on photographs, requestioning the existence of human’s consciousness. In her oil paintings in later years, she daub with and wipe off the pigment many times over, manifesting as well as denying the actions of herself. These two aspects, inconsistent in form, delineate the path of her thinking about human existence throughout her life.
