	¡ÚADF Web Magazine¡ÛMakiko Kudo Solo Exhibition "Reincarnation" at Perrotin Gallery
	Artist and freelance writer Keith Tolch explores Makiko Kudo¡Çs dreamlike paintings at Perrotin Gallery in Los Angeles. Her lush landscapes, recurring cats and solitary figures weave together memories, dreams and everyday experience. Tolch sees her doubled figures as possible expressions of self-compassion, offering companionship within deeply personal worlds. Reflecting on whether painting can communicate universally, he suggests that Kudo¡Çs work offers quiet glimpses into another person¡Çs inner life. Her paintings reveal solitude as a rich and sensuous experience, inviting viewers to discover connections through their own emotions and associations.
