Upcoming Solo Exhibition by Vivienne Sato

YUGEN Gallery FUKUOKA is excited to announce the solo exhibition of the diverse and talented artist, Vivienne Sato. The exhibition will run from October 4 to October 22, 2025, showcasing her unique perspective that transcends the conventional boundaries of art. Located in the heart of Fukuoka, the gallery invites art enthusiasts to explore Sato's multifaceted creations that challenge norms and provoke thought.

About the Artist

Vivienne Sato is not just an artist; she is a writer, a drag queen, and a non-architect. Through her work, she dissects contemporary society with a fresh lens, critiquing various cultural aspects. Her creative expression extends beyond visual art and into film, theater, architecture, and urban culture. Sato consistently weaves in the themes of "contemporaneity" and sharp commentary, making her work resonate deeply with the public.

Artistic Approach

Sato draws inspiration from a variety of sources, including the Rorschach test, to create her two-dimensional pieces. She incorporates innovative headpieces and focuses on the symbolism of language through various forms of writing. Her watercolor portraits, known as "Aura Portraits," invite dialogue, challenging viewers to engage and reflect on their perceptions of reality. With a multi-dimensional approach, Sato raises questions about "seeing, speaking, and existing", creating a dialogic space with her audience.

Her work doesn’t just aim to create beauty; it seeks to disrupt existing values and sensibilities. Through her art, viewers encounter their subconscious, evoking forgotten emotions and unarticulated feelings. Sato's creations are a combination of humor and intellect, merging sophistication with dissonance, reflecting the "invisible truths" that lie within the world's seams.
