Milt Kobayashi
Unspoken Expressions
Milt Kobayashi, celebrated for his contemporary portraiture, continues to surprise and captivate audiences with each new collection. Known for his evocative compositions, Kobayashi’s works blend bold color schemes with expressive brushwork, creating pieces that are both dynamic and introspective.
“Unspoken Expressions” promises to be a revelation, as it is always a mystery what will emerge from Kobayashi’s studio. This unpredictability ensures that each exhibition is a unique experience, filled with unexpected delights and thoughtprovoking artworks.
Kobayashi draws inspiration from an eclectic mix of artistic traditions, most notably the Japanese Ukiyo-e masters of the 16th and 17th centuries, such as Hokusai, Sharaku, and Utamaro. These influences are evident in his use of pattern, color harmony, and innovative composition. His work transcends traditional realism, offering a modern, energetic aesthetic that resonates deeply with viewers.
A third-generation Japanese-American, Kobayashi was born in New York City and raised in Oahu, Hawaii, and Los Angeles, California. His journey from illustration to fine art painting began in the late 1970s upon returning to New York. Visits to institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art played a crucial role in his artistic development, steering him towards a successful career in painting.
