Makiko Kudo

Japanese painter

Makiko Kudo (Born in 1978) is a Japanese painter.[1][2] When Kudo was young, most paintings showed real life things.[3] She paints fiction.[3] People did not like that.[3] Kudo’s way of painting was seen as political resistance.[3][4] She grew up with stiff social structures and a failing economy.[3][4]

Her paintings always have a child in them.[5][6] The child shows her generation’s worry about adulthood.[5]

In 2007, she had a display of her art at Tomio Koyama Gallery in Kiyosumi, Japan.[7][8] She had another display at Hiratsuka Museum of Art, Kanagawa, Japan in 2022.[9]

She painted a picture for the Metropolitan Opera of New York.[10][11] The opera started an art gallery.[10] Her painting was in the first exhibit.[10] She painted Princess Yue-yang from The New Emperor.[11]
