MASATAKA CONTEMPORARY was launched in January 2013. Our mission is to introduce and encourage emerging talents that we felt in love with. We explore artists and their work across various media that meet our two criteria; creativity and independence.

Opening Reception : Jan. 20 (Fri) 4pm ~ 6pm
“WHERE DOES SHE COME FROM?”
This simple sentence also means “Where do their ideas come from?” “Where were they (characters in paintings) born?” “Who is the artist I’ve never seen?” etc.
I am so glad if you would enjoy the show while thinking about it.
Kana Uwatoko has just been active as an artist, but she has talents for paint and composition, and ghosts in her painting are attractive.
Kanae Shimada often paints “a certain girl” in her works. Landscapes and her are well-balanced.
Haruka Kawabata usually uses the same motifs, but she has challenged something new in this exhibition.
Saki Fujikawa is a gimper. Always creates new things, and that is beyond our expectation.
I’m sure you will enjoy their characteristic motifs and techniques!
