After World War II, Yozo Ukita was involved in editing "Kirin," a magazine created in Osaka in which children's poems and drawings were published. The avant-garde artist Jiro Yoshihara, who was strongly interested in children's art at the time, recommended Ukita, who was selecting most cover pictures for "Kirin," to become an artist.When Yoshihara founded the Gutai Art Association, Ukita joined the group, and under the mentorship of Yoshihara,he started to create his first artworks.Nearly 10 years later, he resigned from "Kirin" and left "Gutai" to run his own plastic packaging factory.For the artist, it marked the beginning of 20-year hiatus from the art world.Two decades later, near the age of 60, when he went on a residency in Germany, Ukita resumed his artistic activity more intensely than before.This exhibition focuses on his works since the resumption of his production.
