It has been 15 years since Mizoe Art Gallery first opened its door in Fukuoka.
We opened our Tokyo branch here in Denenchofu in 2012, and have since proactively participate in art fairs overseas to introduce excellent Japanese art to the world.
We would like to take this opportunity to express our deepest gratitude for your continued support throughout the years.
Since the opening of the gallery, our concept has been to “continue to inspire people throughout the ages, and provide high-quality art works that are not influenced by trends.” With this in mind, we proudly present a selection of masterpieces from our collection.
We will continue to seek for art works that will live on in the future, and do our best to deliver them to you.
We sincerely look forward to your visit.

Takashi YATOUJI “Rumination, Thereafter”
April 8th (Sat) - April 23rd (Sun), 2023
10:00am-6:00pm (Open every day during the event)
Venue: MIZOE ART GALLERY TOKYO
The artist will be at the gallery on April 8th, 9th, 15th, 16th, 22nd, 23rd.

In this exhibition, Yatoji creates a world of his own by duplicating and transforming a motif with intention－meaning that the artist repeatedly depicts the same motifs but transforms each copy to prevent his work from being mundane, and in anticipation of the new possibilities that could be created. In addition, the artworks in this exhibition include unique motifs such as “images that were generated by AI that look like people" and "photos taken several years ago that I had forgotten about". This is the result of the artist feeling that his personal relationships with the motifs he has painted in the past, such as friends and neighborhood scenes, became a distraction. For this series, he began to choose more random and unrelated subjects, and only in the process of painting them would he start to nurture a relationship with them.
We will be exhibiting approximately 30 new works, including several large paintings that are size 100 or larger. Please come and see the new world of Takashi Yatoji.

Gyoji NOMIYAMA　野見山暁治
We introduce Gyoji NOMIYAMA, who played a seminal role in the development of postwar Japanese art. He was born in Fukuoka in 1920, has been active in Western-style painting in Japan for far longer than almost anyone else. He turned 102 years old last December 2022.

After the war, NOMIYAMA went to Paris, at where he was strongly influenced by abstract art, but preserving the beauty of Japan and the identity of the Japanese which highly evaluated by enhancing its unique artistry. Returned to Japan continued to create new works and teaching younger generations. He has made great achievements in the apanese art world and his own path.

NOMIYAMA has always worked with figurative imagery, and in these paintings he has focused on primal forms and generated a new level of dynamism, making them quintessential examples of the art of Gyoji NOMIYAMA. The artist continues to work in his studio today, his creative spirit never flagging.
