Portrait 292 - Video-Installation von Hiroshi Takeda in Muroran
News03.10.2025
The Sapporo-based artist Hiroshi Takeda is currently presenting Portrait 292 as part of the Muroran Art Project / Festival for Iron and Light in Muroran, Hokkaidō, a video installation in the former Ginya department store. The city of Muroran is located at the tip of the Etomo Peninsula, which juts out into Funka Bay. After the opening of railway lines that transported coal from Sorachi and Yūbari, Muroran developed into an important coal shipping port. With the establishment of iron and steelworks during the Meiji period, the city experienced rapid growth and became known as the “Iron City.” Since the decline of the steel industry from the 1970s onwards, however, the face of the city has gradually changed.
The Muroran Art Project takes this history and landscape as its backdrop and, under the theme of Iron and Light, invites various artists to participate. Takeda’s current video installation makes the city’s hidden energy and transformation visible through the interplay of light and color, offering visitors an intense visual experience.

Yuki Yamamoto | Group Exhibition in Fukuoka & Upcoming Projects
News21.09.2025
Yuki Yamamoto’s work begins with the simple circle, through which he explores new relationships between color and space. Circular discs embedded in transparent layers overlap real and illusionistic spatial effects, forming an autonomous pictorial world.
In recent years, he has developed, together with a programmer, his own drawing system that incorporates random numbers. In addition, in collaboration with Keio University in Tokyo, he expanded his circle motif into the three-dimensionality of the sphere.
Starting next week (September 27), he will take part in the group exhibition “ART POWER SALUTE” at UNION SODA in Fukuoka (curated by Seigo Hirano / theme: Flow Glow Blow Bubbles). In June next year, after three years, a solo exhibition in Hamburg is planned. And already this December, three new works will arrive at Mikiko Sato Gallery. We are very much looking forward to it!

NewsSTUDIO: Shimpei Yoshida at Kunsthalle Mannheim
17.06.2025
Dear friends of the gallery,
We are delighted to share some wonderful news with you today:
Our gallery artist Shimpei Yoshida (*1992 in Nara, Japan; lives and works in Tokyo) will present a solo exhibition this autumn at the STUDIO of Kunsthalle Mannheim!The exhibition, curated by Dr. Stefano Agresti, opens on September 4.
The works on view take their starting point from an old family photo album that Yoshida accidentally discovered in 2019 during a stay in Hamburg. Inspired by these anonymous images, he developed a series of portraits of an imaginary family, situated between memory and imagination.
In this new series, the artist’s personal memories and experiences intertwine with his impressions from Germany – in a quiet and sensitive manner. Ten oil paintings of various formats will be presented.
If you are in the area, we would be very happy to welcome your visit!
