Unveiling Artistry: Yuki Nishimoto's "Connect Week" Exhibition

YUGEN Gallery FUKUOKA is gearing up for a remarkable event, hosting the exhibition "Yuki Nishimoto | Connect Week" from September 17 to September 22, 2025. Located at 2-1-4 Daimyo, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka, this exhibition is part of the broader FaN Week (Fukuoka Art Next Week), where the entire city will be alive with art and creativity.

This exhibition presents a unique opportunity to engage with the artistic journey of Yuki Nishimoto, showcasing his diverse expressions and inviting visitors to form new connections through art. Nishimoto’s works are celebrated for their dynamic portrayals of life’s energy, drawing inspiration from themes such as dragons, tigers, and samurai, all crafted in a manner that transcends traditional ink painting. His brushwork captures not only the essence of life but also maintains a tranquil beauty along with a modern vigor.

Visitors to the exhibition can immerse themselves in Nishimoto's multifaceted art, experiencing the nuances of ink bleed, the tactile sensation of ceramics, and the vibrant coloration of giclée prints. Each piece reveals a unique expression, ranging from abstract forms to enchanting depictions of dragons and humans, demonstrating Nishimoto’s extensive artistic range and his ongoing evolution as an artist.

The exhibition also serves as a prologue to the prestigious ART FAIR ASIA FUKUOKA (AFAF), where select giclée works and preview pieces for the fair will be displayed. This momentous gathering sets the stage for what lies ahead, fostering excitement and anticipation for future artistic endeavors.

Additionally, a new communication channel, "Yuki Nishimoto Official LINE", will be launched in conjunction with the exhibition. This platform will allow fans and art enthusiasts to receive updated information about upcoming exhibitions, new artworks, and event notifications, establishing a direct connection between the audience and the artist. It’s an opportunity for attendees to carry the inspiration felt at the exhibition into their daily lives, forging a vital link to the future.

This exhibition is not merely a showcase of lines on canvas; it is a pioneering attempt to connect people through art and dialogue, weaving a future for both artists and audiences. The lines that resonate from Fukuoka are expected to expand as they reach across the globe.
