시노다 모모홍(시노다·토코우, 1913 – 2021년)은 중국·대련에 태어난다. 나이보다 아버지의 손으로 책에 친숙해져, 도쿄에서의 학업을 수련한 뒤, 서예의 지도에 해당한다.1940년, 긴자·하토이도에서 첫 개인전을 개최.
1956년, 43 나이로 단신 도미.문화적인 경계를 넘어 자기를 표현하고 싶다는 소원은, 보스턴이나 뉴욕에서의 개인전으로서 결실했다. 의와 일본의 전위서를 융합시킨 독자적인 스타일 높이 평가되었다. 나이를 넘어도 창작을 계속했다.
시노다의 작품은 국내외 주요 미술관을 비롯해 록펠러가 등 세계적인 컬렉터에도 소장되어 있다.
먹에 의한 추상 예술의 선구자로서 시노다 모모홍은 일본뿐만 아니라 세계의 현대 미술에 깊은 발자취를 남겼다.
Toko Shinoda (1913 - 2021) was born in Dalian, China. Guided by her father, she began studyingcalligraphy at the age of five. After completing her education in Tokyo, she began teaching calligraphy and, in 1940, held her first solo exhibition at Kyukyodo in Ginza, Tokyo. Over time,she began to feel limited by the “meaning” and “form” of traditional characters and sought a freer mode of expression beyond the framework of language.
In 1956, at the age of 43, she traveled alone to the United States in pursuit of artistic freedom beyond cultural boundaries. Her exhibitions in Boston and New York attracted prominent cultural figures such as Walter Gropius, and her unique style—fusing Western abstract expressionism with avant-garde Korean calligraphy—was widely acclaimed.
After returning to Japan, she created large-scale works for temples, public spaces, and institutions affiliated with the Imperial Household. Through sumi ink pain tings, prints, and mixed media, she further deepened her abstract expression. Even beyond the age of 100, she continued to create,eventually exploring refined expressions using gold and silver leaf.
Her works have been collected by major museums in Japan and abroad, as well as by distinguished collectors, including the Rockefeller family. As a pioneer of abstract art through sumi ink, Toko Shinoda left a profound legacy not only in Korean art, but in the global contemporary art world.
