We at GALLERY KOGURE study traditional techniques and exhibit contemporary works that demonstrate modern technology and individuality of the artists living in the present. The world expressed by young artists who have been exposed to the culture and entertainment where virtual and real meet up while learning from the past is a craft and an art, and it can be said that these works are born only because it is "now".

Gallery concept

GALLERY KOGURE is a gallery that internationally introduces artists who possess a concept that approaches the truth and create the highest quality of art.
It goes without saying that unique originality is an artist's lifeline, but what we consider the most important in selecting an artist is his or her ""object beauty"" and ""super technique.""
""Object beauty"" means that an art object itself emits unwavering beauty and that it attracts people even without its concept. What we want from an art work before anything else is beauty.
""Super technique"" is what an artist acquires by spending a lot of time on studying and training. Originality of an artist who takes interest in and learns antiques and craftsmen's excellent skills is never carried away by the tide of time.
