Long Story Short

About the Gallery
In 2020, during the year that the global pandemic started, Leung co-founded ATM Gallery in the Lower East Side in New York to support and encourage the art world. He is most enthusiastic about introducing young emerging artists who haven’t had their talent recognized or shown before in the art world. His goal is to help them find a path in their early careers and eventually raise their profile nationally and internationally. Leung has expanded his career as a gallerist and has opened his own galleries: Long Story Short in NYC, LA and Paris.

About the Presentation
Long Story Short will present a new body of work by Japanese artist Keita Morimoto at Independent. Morimoto’s work captures liminal urban scenes—vending machines in the rain, figures waiting, walking, or pausing—infused with a quiet tension. Employing a meticulous approach to light and shadow, his paintings navigate the spaces between clarity and ambiguity, drawing attention to the unnoticed fragments of contemporary life. Set against the backdrop of Tokyo, these works resonate with a universal sense of stillness and anticipation.
