Exclusive Yuki Nishimoto Artwork Lottery at AFAF2026 Event in Fukuoka

Discover the Essence of Ink Art with Yuki Nishimoto

At the upcoming ART FAIR ASIA FUKUOKA (AFAF) in 2026, attendees will be given an extraordinary chance to own original pieces from renowned ink artist Yuki Nishimoto. Known for his dynamic and expressive brushwork, Nishimoto is set to display one of his sought-after artworks featuring the year’s zodiac sign — the horse. This exclusive sale signals a rare opportunity, as many of his original works are typically housed in museums, locked away for public admiration rather than ownership.

A Glimpse into Nishimoto’s Art

Yuki Nishimoto’s work is a vibrant celebration of life captured in motion, embodying the spirit of the horse through bold strokes and splashes of ink that leap off the page. His technique emphasizes not just the form of the horse, but its energy, showcasing powerful legs, flowing manes, and the momentum of its gallop. The unique properties of ink enable a play between depth and space, allowing a viewer to feel the liveliness of the subject matter — an ephemeral moment rendered permanent.
