About the Artist
Maya Makino was born in 1980 in Kanagawa, Japan, and is currently based in Tokyo, Japan. Makino aims to capture and preserve the experience of witnessing scenes from the past triggered by an involuntary awareness of sensations. Think of the quietness of the night or the sound of rain.
The Japanese artist uses a single dye to achieve a range of indigo blue hues, working on wooden panels primed with a traditional gesso made of gofun—also known as shell lime. By doing so, the Japanese artist is able to create subtle textures and reliefs on her surfaces before soaking the panels with an intense dye. The indigo does not sit on top of the surface; it penetrates the support—parallel to how the mind is penetrated and altered in an act of remembrance. The Japanese artist approaches painting as a phenomenon emerging from deep within the support, as the color impels the painting to transcend its material aspects.
The artist achieved a BFA and MFA in Painting at Tokyo University of the Arts. Notable exhibitions include national and international institutional venues such as Geidai Art Plaza in Tokyo, Japan; Heather Gaudio Fine Art in Connecticut, the United States of America; The Untitled Void in Seoul, South Korea; The University Art Museum in Tokyo, Japan; The Ueno Royal Museum in Tokyo, Japan; and the Fuchu Art Museum in Tokyo, Japan. As a result, her works feature in public collections such as The University Art Museum in Tokyo, Japan; Minakami Collection in Gunma, Japan; TIAD Autograph Collection in Aichi, Japan; Yoshimoto Pole Co., Ltd. in Gunma, Japan; Isuzu Motors Ltd. in Kanagawa, Japan; and Saiho-ji Temple in Tokyo, Japan. Maya Makino joined the CAI Gallery program in 2022.
