About sales of artworks
His real name is Gakuto Sato. He was born in Kanagawa Prefecture in 2001. At the age of 3, he was diagnosed with severe autism, and in 2005, he moved to Los Angeles, USA with his family to receive autism treatment. After returning to Japan, at the age of 16, he was inspired by the work of Taro Okamoto and began drawing. In 2020, he held a solo exhibition in New York, USA. Since then, he has participated in art events and created installations at large facilities both in Japan and abroad. He has collaborated with many brands such as LeSportsac, DIANA, THE BODYSHOP, and GODIVA. He raised 12 million yen through crowdfunding to produce a collection of his art to commemorate his 20th birthday. In 2023, he published his autobiography, "GAKU, PAINT! Until My Autistic Son Created a Miracle" (written by Norimasa Sato/CCC Media House). He is currently based in the atelier and gallery "byGAKU" in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
