Early life and education
Yoshida attended a high school which specialized in science before studying painting at Kyoto City University of Fine Arts. [2]
He briefly ran a kimono-dyeing shop before beginning his professional career as an artist.[3]
Work
Yoshida is a second-generation Gutai artist, noted in the 1960s for his hard edge abstract paintings and futuristic sculptures before shifting the focus of his work to the performance format in the ‘70s.[4] In 1965 he joined the Gutai movement.[3] His piece Bisexual Flower was included in the Osaka World Expo 1970. Yoshida began incorporating performance art into his practice while living in New York City.[4] His performances often incorporated a "synthesizer jacket," a garment the artist created from plexiglass and adorned with circuits and resembling his earlier sculptures.[5] The artist also wired speakers into panels that were worn around the wearer’s thighs. By operating the different switches on the jacket, sculptural garment emitted a series of different rhythmic electronic sounds.[6] Yoshida lived in New York City from 1970 to 1978 before returning to Japan where he continued to work and perform until his death in 2010.[3]
