About sales of artworks
Yuki Nishimoto
Yuki Nishimoto
Born in 1988, from Kagoshima Prefecture.
Nishimoto Yuki is not limited by the traditional framework of sumi-e painting, but pursues "dynamism" and "strength" through his own unique techniques. In addition to his bold yet delicate sumi-e paintings, he also works on "ceramic ink paintings," which are painted on clay panels using glaze and then fired at high temperatures. His work has been featured in a wide range of settings, including live painting at events both in Japan and overseas, as well as in films, theater performances, and public facilities. He is currently based in Fukuoka and Fukui.
This exhibition will display ink paintings and ceramic ink paintings, and along with his popular works themed around samurai and military commanders, you can also see works with the dragon motif that made his name known to the world.
Yoh Nagao
Yoh Nagao
After building a career as a graphic designer and illustrator, he began his career as an artist. In 2012, he moved to Berlin, where he is currently engaged in fieldwork to build close relationships with local communities, driven by his deep interest in ethnology and cultural anthropology. He has traveled around the world, including Namibia, Mexico, Mongolia, and India, and the knowledge and experiences he has gained from these journeys are reflected in his work. He is currently based in Nagoya.
This exhibition will feature collages that reconstruct objects and tools that are taken for granted in modern society, and are based on the theme of "future indigenous peoples." Through his unique artworks that skillfully use fashion magazine clippings and other materials, he challenges the authority of art.
Itoshi Saccharani
Itoshi Sakhrani
Born in Tokyo in 1987, he has been familiar with oil painting since childhood and grew up in an environment where different cultures intersect. Of British, Indian and Okinawan descent, he was educated at an international school and a Japanese public school, and after graduating he experienced a variety of jobs. He began working full-time as a painter in 2020 and has been attracting attention for his unique style of expression.
Saccharani's work is characterized by strong brushstrokes and thick layers of paint, and will be showcasing powerful abstract paintings in which the colors seem to be released into a four-dimensional world through his body and soul.
