Upcoming Art Exhibition: Ryuki Hayata's Solo Showcase

Pasona Heartful, a special subsidiary of Pasona Group, is proud to announce the solo art exhibition titled Art Village Exhibition - Ryuki Hayata's Solo Exhibition, featuring a remarkable collection of approximately 20 paintings by artist Ryuki Hayata. This exhibition will be held from June 11 (Wednesday) to June 15 (Sunday) at the Annex Aoyama space located in the heart of Minami Aoyama, Tokyo.




Pasona Heartful was founded in 1992 under the belief that there is no disability in talent. Their mission is to create employment opportunities through art for individuals facing employment challenges. In 2004, they began hiring "artist employees" who create art as part of their work. Currently, there are 22 such artists creating vibrant works in various styles.

Starting in March, Pasona Heartful began highlighting the unique talents of each artist employee through solo and themed exhibitions. This upcoming exhibition focuses on Ryuki Hayata, who has been with the organization since 2006. Known for his meticulous color usage, Hayata combines paint using a small ice tray as a palette, allowing him to create a wide array of vibrant colors.
