Yoko Akino

Glasgow Print Studio is delighted to present Through the unknown, remembered gate, an exhibition of print editions by Yoko Akino.

Born in Kyoto, Japan, Akino moved to Ireland in 1996 and joined Graphic Studio Dublin where she has worked ever since. First introduced to Scottish audiences as part of Between Islands, a 2024 collaboration with Graphic Studio Dublin, Akino makes lyrical and technically exacting prints that draw the viewer in through the interplay of flat areas of colour, precise mark-making and contemplative, dreamlike imagery.

A preview of works can be viewed here.
