Born in Tokyo. KINJO works in painting, three-dimensional work, performance and other forms, taking Okinawan roots and Japanese and American culture as subjects. Recurring, distinctive motifs such as "eyes glowing in the dark" and "snakes" are tied to his memory of a childhood fear of being looked at. Painting, erasing and painting over again as if to wipe away anxiety, he objectifies the gaze within the painting, and by replacing it with pop signs, connects it to the music and street culture he loves.
