SHORT BIO - 日本語
Ryoko Goto is an artist based between New York and Tokyo, maintaining studios in both cities. Rather than working within a single fixed style, she allows each work to take shape through materials, process, and response, leaving space for viewers to encounter it through their own memories, backgrounds, and ways of seeing.
She holds an AFA from Musashino Art University in Tokyo and has continued to develop her practice in New York through further study, professional work, and hands-on engagement with materials and techniques. Her practice draws on abstraction, oil-based and water-based media, material processes, and traditional Japanese techniques.
