Profile
Born in 1984 in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan. The artist moved to New York in 2007 and currently based in Brooklyn.
The artist focuses and pursues possibilities of brushstrokes’ expressions, one of the most fundamental elements of painting. Yamaguchi’s signature work series OUT OF BOUNDS is made with conception of “transcending stereotypes, rules, borders and boundaries, expansion of painting”. Yamaguchi stopped using canvases that restrained the physical area for his brush strokes but instead invented an original method for materialising unrestrained shapes of the brush strokes, successfully expressing and exploring the possibilities of his dynamic and sculptural beauty of brush strokes.
The artist experienced the pivotal transition of street culture from the 90’s to early 2000’s in Tokyo. He has collaborated with major brands representing American street culture, such as ALIFE, BILLIONAIRE BOYS CLUB, FTC, NIKE. The artist has also collaborated with other international brands such as ISSEY MIYAKE MEN, LEVI’s, OAKLEY, and UNIQLO.
