About

ShugoArts is happy to announce the opening of a group exhibition featuring our artists from November 2 to November 22, 2019.

We will focus on showcasing new artworks created by our painters solely for this exhibition: a group of artworks freshly produced in Masato KOBAYASHI’s studio, Yoriko TAKABATAKE’s series of paintings utilizing fire which she has never presented in Japan before, and the monochrome Waterfront Scenery series by Naofumi MARUYAMA who has been working on the series since his solo exhibition last year. In addition, various artworks created by Leiko IKEMURA, LEE Kit and many others will be exhibited at the same time. This is going to be a rare occasion in which you can experience a space full of paintings to a greater extent.

October 2019, ShugoArts
