Makoto Aida (会田 誠, Aida Makoto, born 1965) is a Japanese contemporary artist[1][2] known for his provocative works of manga, painting, video, photography, sculpture, and installation.[3][4][5] Though less well known internationally than Takashi Murakami or Yoshitomo Nara, he is recognized in Japan as one of the preeminent figures of Japanese contemporary art.[6]
Biography
Aida was born on October 4, 1965, in Niigata Prefecture in rural Japan. Since 2001, he has been married to artist Hiroko Okada.[7] Together they have son Torajiro Aida (born 2001), who is a blockchain software engineer.[7] The family formed an art performance group called "Aidake", in which they mocked the traditional family roles of children in a 2015 performance "Recital" at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo.[8][9][10]
Four of the members of the modern art collective Chim-Pom had previously worked with Aida.[11]
A retrospective exhibition, "Aida Makoto: Monument For Nothing" was held in 2012 to 2013 at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo.[12][5]
