Tomio Koyama Gallery

About the Gallery
Tomio Koyama Gallery opened in 1996 in Saga-cho, Koto-ku, Tokyo. Currently based in Roppongi and Tennoz with a new space opening in Kyobashi in November 2024. Since its opening the gallery has been participating in international art fairs, being the first point of introduction for young Japanese artists, and has generated a current that became a foundation of Japanese contemporary art. The gallery currently represents Kishio Suga, Mika Ninagawa, Hiroshi Sugito, Richard Tuttle as well as holding exhibitions of ceramic artists. Introducing diverse artists from established figures to young talents, beyond distinctions of nationality or genre, Tomio Koyama Gallery aims at developing the contemporary art market with original perspectives.

About the Presentation
Satoru Kurata (b. 1991, Tokyo) will make his New York debut in a solo presentation with Tomio Koyama Gallery, featuring newly created paintings for this occasion. From personified animals to close-ups of humans wearing masks, and scenes of everyday life that are familiar to us all, Satoru Kurata depicts a world of painting that is filled with a unique sense of humor and narrative that draws inspiration from his own memories and intuitive images.
