He has another side to his work as an artist who creates many collage works using paper and books as his main materials, and is also very active in this field.

Yoshida, who has held numerous solo and group exhibitions, will open his latest exhibition.

At "KASABUTA" held in 2022, the artist exhibited for the first time in nine years new collage works, which he has continued to produce as his lifework since the publication of his book of the same title (2013).

And in this exhibition "No", new two-dimensional works and sculptures will be exhibited and sold. As for the intention of "No," we draw directly from the artist's own words.

The single letter "no" in the title has no meaning. It is a particle, and when a noun or adjective is added before or after it, an outline or shape emerges. For example, comparing "and" with "no," we get "white and white black" and "white white black. I am attracted to the intrinsic connection and continuity of "no" rather than the parallel relationship between "and". And this time, I was more conscious than usual of the "no" before and after, and the "no" was like an excellent piece of work that I searched for. It is both a process and a work in progress.

An artist talk is scheduled during the exhibition.

Let's take a look at the new expression of Mr. Yoshida, who shows a strong commitment to physical materials.
