In 1935, she opened an art school in her home studio with Hidesuke Obata in Odo, Fukuoka City, where she continued to teach painting to children until her later years.
In 1949, she founded the Kyushu Women Painters Exhibition with Mitsuko Tabe, a former member of Kyushu-Ha.
After leaving the group, she organized the “Odo Products Exhibition” with Hidesuke Obata.
In 1993, held a solo exhibition at the Yufuin Soranomori Museum of Art.
After her death, she was featured in the exhibition “Women of the Avant-garde 1950-1975” (Tochigi Prefectural Museum of Fine Arts, 2005), and is one of the few female artists who remain prominent in the postwar Japanese avant-garde art scene.
(From Fukuoka Prefectural Museum of Art web site)
From 1958, she studied under the Western-style painter Kenichiro Terada. Since Terada joined the Kyushu-Ha from the end of 1957, Oguro also came to know the Kyushu-Ha.
In 1958, two paintings were selected for the 14th Fukuoka Prefectural Art Exhibition. However, 23 members of the Kyushu-Ha submitted a letter of protest against the judges and judging methods of this prefectural exhibition.
1959: “Flowing Things” was exhibited at the 2nd Kyushu Independents Exhibition.
1959: Due to a conflict among members over exhibiting at public exhibitions, Terada, who had continued to exhibit at the Nika Exhibition, withdrew from Kyushu-Ha. Oguro and Mitsuko Tabe tried to persuade Terada, but he did not return.
In 1960, Oguro exhibited “Core” (cat. no.104) at the 12th Yomiuri Independents Exhibition (and continued to exhibit it until the 15th exhibition). At that time, she painted oil paintings in the style of enformel, which was popular at the time.
In 1960, she participated in the 1st All Kyushu Independents Exhibition. She joined the Kyushu-Ha.
Her name was listed as a member in the journal “Kyushu-ha 4” published in 1961. From then on, Oguro, along with her senior colleague Tabe, remained with the Kyushu-ha until the end of her career as a female painter.
In 1961, she exhibited a painting with plates pasted on it at the Kyushu-ha Exhibition (Ginza garou).
In 1963, she also exhibited a painting called “Oppai” (boobs?), in which she pasted circular plate-like objects in an orderly arrangement, at the 1963 Kyushu-ha exhibition. In the same year, she exhibited a painting called
In 1965, she exhibited “Genitalia Painting” at the last exhibition of the Kyushu-Ha. As a forerunner of Mitsuko Tabe’s “Artificial Boat Disc” and “Brackard,” Oguro also used a straightforward title to critically express the erotic gaze of men on the female body.
