About Gallery
About the Gallery_Concept Description
YUGEN Gallery is a gallery founded in February 2022 that specializes in contemporary Japanese art.
The "YUGEN" in the gallery's name is derived from the word "yugen," which expresses the uniquely Japanese aesthetic sense, and expresses our desire to convey to as many people as possible the appeal of Japanese art works, which possess qualities such as depth, sublimity, dignity, elegance, glamour, and grandeur that this word conveys.
The special exhibitions, featuring up-and-coming contemporary artists from Japan and abroad, display a wide range of works across genres. The official website also sells works online in both Japanese and English.
In April 2024, the gallery will relocate to Minami-Aoyama, Tokyo, and be reborn as a contemporary art gallery offering a unique space where visitors can immerse themselves in the world of the artwork.
A spatial presentation that allows you to immerse yourself in the world of the work
The Minamiaoyama Gallery suddenly appears inside the office, welcoming you with its black-themed entrance.
At the entrance, which serves as a junction between the outside world and the artworks, we have created a space that will make you feel excited and thrilled. A projector has been installed at the front, allowing you to watch the prologue to the exhibition that will unfold inside the gallery.
And in the gallery, The building is fully equipped with the innovative lighting fixtures "Synca, the next-generation dimmable and color-adjustable series" developed by Endo Lighting Co., Ltd.
Lighting that faithfully reproduces and highlights artworks
Synca is an innovative LED lighting fixture that combines natural light, artificial light, and color effects in one unit. It offers a wide range of light colors and allows for precise adjustment of the light output, faithfully reproducing and highlighting the texture and color of artworks. This new lighting technology allows exhibits to have a sense of three-dimensionality and depth in artworks, providing visitors with a more engaging viewing experience.
Immerse yourself in the world of the film with 121 different color effects
Synca has 121 different color effects that combine high color rendering and dramatic effect, allowing you to create a variety of different gallery spaces. From a colorful and pop atmosphere in a white cube to a powerful futuristic space, various expressions are possible depending on the exhibited works. By combining the works with light, you can further enhance the unique worldview of the works, immersing the viewers in that world.
By adopting the new lighting fixtures, the next-generation dimmable and color-adjustable Synca series, YUGEN Gallery has evolved into the ideal gallery for contemporary artists and curators to exhibit their works in the most attractive way. Going forward, we will set the optimal lighting environment for each exhibition and create a space that brings out the appeal of the exhibited works more than ever before.
Function as a place for new encounters
YUGEN Gallery plans to employ curators who are active in a variety of fields and actively exhibit works in genres that have not been exhibited at YUGEN Gallery before.
We hope that when our customers visit YUGEN Gallery, they will find themselves discovering new artworks and experiencing new things.
We will also be holding events where customers can interact with artists, so we look forward to seeing you at the new YUGEN Gallery.
