In the exhibition, we are going to present recent works of our artists whose artistic mediums are predominantly either photography or painting and sculpture, by making use of our gallery space that is loosely divided into the front and back rooms.
In the front room, we are going to showcase film photography that is focused on gelatin silver print by MORIMURA Yasumasa, Yuji ONO and Tomoko YONEDA. Yuji ONO (b. 1963), whose works will be shown for the first time at ShugoArts, depicts light itself by utilizing paintings from the 16th to 18th century and lets the viewer focus on the act of contemplation.
In the back room, we are going to exhibit various artworks such as paintings by Masaya CHIBA, Masato KOBAYASHI, Aki KONDO, LEE Kit and Naofumi MARUYAMA and sculptures and three dimensional objects by Yukio FUJIMOTO, Leiko IKEMURA, Ritsue MISHIMA and Shigeo TOYA.
We are planning on having a solo exhibition by Yoriko TAKABATAKE. We are always keeping our online presence up to date, so please go to our website and Facebook for our artists’ recent activities.
