Aki Kuroda
Born in Kyoto in 1944, Aki Kuroda started painting since he was 3 years old. When he was a child, he was fascinated by the surrealist magazine “Minotaure” that his father received from Paris. He exhibited for the first time when he was 10 years old. As a child, he was fascinated by the surrealist magazine Minotaure that his father received from Paris. He exhibited for the first time at the age of 10. In his youth, Aki studied art history and he travelled a lot: he lived in New York and then in Paris, where he settled definitely in 1970 and where he is living nowadays. His first solo exhibition took place in 1978 in Germany, and his works are regularly the subject of major exhibitions such as: Doland Museum in Shanghai, Museums of Modern Art in Tokyo and Osaka, Maison Européenne de la Photographie in Paris, Imperial City Museum in Beijing, National Museum in Bratislava, Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, Municipal Gallery of Modern Art in Dublin. Aki Kuroda is intimately linked to the literary world. Marguerite Duras accompanied his first exhibition with an unpublished text. From 1985 to 1994, with Yoyo Maeght and Didier Ottinger - now Deputy Director of the Centre Pompidou in Paris - he published Noise. In 2017, Éditions Gallimard gave him carte blanche to illustrate Shakespeare's Hamlet in a book with 50 original drawings. Aki Kuroda freely develops his artistic research in painting, photography, sculpture, architecture, set design, installation, performance or happening, all expressions that make up the immense Cosmogarden project.
