These works explore how colors and shapes, sometimes dented, mixed, or layered on fabric can go beyond fixed meanings. It’s an attempt to create new connections and values, to blur the boundaries we often take for granted. As Yokouchi puts it, “We don’t live from just one point of view. We’re always shifting between different perspectives.” That way of thinking runs through both his art and his life, always searching, always moving toward new kinds of harmony in a world full of different and overlapping values.
In this body of work, Yokouchi turns his attention to how people look and behave. While he has consistently experimented with materials and techniques, this time he places greater emphasis on allowing the fabric to guide the outcome. Rather than imposing form, he responds to what emerges through the process, embracing variation and distortion as natural parts of the work. This approach reflects his interest in navigating the complexities of human experience, using painting as a way to engage with the emotional and psychological challenges that shape everyday life.
