Traditional Japan and West influence

The variety of of art pieces reflects the variety of Samiro Yunoki’s work, a mixture of traditional skills and modern vision, both through the techniques and materials used and the decorative motifs.
His works, imbued with the traditional Japan, also partly reflect the influence of the West, particularly from the painters of the twentieth century who sublimated forms and colors: Matisse, Miro, Kandinsky…

Three-dimensional art

With their clarity of contours, remarkable sense of movement and impressive formats, Yunoki’s textile works are not mere decorations but dynamic three-dimensional with brilliant color and elegance.

About Samiro Yunoki

The artist was born in 1922 in a family of painters. He studied art history in Tokyo University before beginning to work at the Ohara Museum of art in Kurashiki in Okayama prefecture, a town with rich traditions of Japanese folk crafts (mingei).
He turned his attention to the mingei and devoted himself to the art form which was intriguing him.
Today, Yunoki has diversified his work, experimenting with the rough natural materials, painting on wood, glass, and textile materials.
