Yoshi Coryne (b. 1987) draws inspiration from Old Masters and Classical history. His work also derives from the rich traditions of his Japanese and Middle Eastern heritage, rejecting an East-West binary to relate techniques and symbolic references. Yoshi seeks to expand connections hidden in plain sight, particularly in the decidedly White and heteronormative tropes of Classic and Enlightenment art. When the artist isn’t getting carpal tunnel, he is usually ruining his eyesight and posture with Netflix or computer games.
