出品作品について
KOTARO NUKAGAは、2名のアーティストの作品を紹介します。
井上七海の作品は、線や刺繍、ビーズの反復的行為を通じて、作家の主観を極力排し、「何でもないけど、何かであるもの」を描き出す、象徴性から解放された絵画表現を追求している。 地村洋平の《始まりの実験》は、溶けたガラスと金属が自然の力と交わり生まれる形を通じ、「予兆」や「起源」を表現するシリーズ。素材に優劣を設けず、等価な価値として扱う姿勢が貫かれている。
ギャラリーコンセプト
KOTARO NUKAGAは異文化が交差し多様な情報が発信される六本木と、新たな現代アートの中心地として注目される天王洲に拠点を置き、国内外の先鋭的なアーティストと共に独自性の高いギャラリープログラムを展開しています。
アートと社会の曖昧な関係性の上で、アートを成立させる歴史的、文化的、科学的、美学的な文脈にアプローチし、過去を読み解き、今を捉え直し、未来についてしなやかに思索していきます。

About exhibited works
KOTARO NUKAGA is pleased to present works by Nanami Inoue and Yohei Chimura. Inoue’s practice explores a distinctive approach to painting that seeks to eliminate the artist’s subjectivity through repetitive gestures such as drawing lines, embroidering, and sewing beads. Her works focus not on depicting something specific, but on the act of creation itself—producing paintings that “depict nothing, yet something.” Freed from symbolic meaning, her paintings act as “shifters,” gaining meaning only in context and suggesting a vision of transient universality. Chimura’s series The Experiment on the Origin explores themes of “herald” and “origin” through forms born from molten glass and metal interacting with natural forces like gravity. Both materials influence each other. Rejecting hierarchy between media, Chimura treats glass and metal equally, reflecting his background in both fields. This philosophy enables seamless fusion, emphasizing balance and elemental transformation in his work.
Gallery concept
Founded in Tokyo in 2018, KOTARO NUKAGA acknowledges that contemporary art best reflects present-day society and its future. Taking particular interest in the avant-garde forefront of global art, exhibitions at KOTARO NUKAGA explore radical ideas of both Japanese and international artists. Now with three spaces in Tokyo— Roppongi, a cultural hub bustling with new ideas, and Tennoz, a location that is currently gaining traction as Tokyo’s new center of contemporary art— KOTARO NUKAGA continues to establish its name through the expansion and development of its distinctive gallery program.
Through a cross-disciplinary lens integrating various cultural and academic fields, KOTARO NUKAGA’s program aims to continue approaching art through its historical, cultural, social, scientific, and aesthetic contexts in order to interpret the past, capture the present, and imagine a boundless future.
