Keita Ando's Upcoming Exhibition at YUGEN Gallery FUKUOKA
Introduction
After nearly two years since his last appearance, artist Keita Ando will unveil his latest works at YUGEN Gallery FUKUOKA starting January 24, 2026. Located at the heart of Fukuoka City, this exhibition promises to delve deeply into existential themes that resonate universally.
About the Artist
Keita Ando is renowned for his exploration of profound themes such as life and death. His artistic vision perceives death not as an end but as a part of a continuous cycle where the radiance of life can be discovered amidst darkness. Ando has honed his craft at Kyushu Sangyo University, engaging with diverse techniques ranging from drawing to tableau and semi-sculptural works. His artistic journey is deeply influenced by childhood experiences and moments shared with artworks in museums, prompting him to continually seek ways to visualize the 'equilibrium' between life and death.
The Exhibition
The exhibition will feature not only Ando's latest works but also a curated selection of pieces from other Asian artists, displayed on a dedicated wall. This unique juxtaposition aims to offer visitors a fresh perspective on Ando's artistry while fostering a dialogue with the external influences gathered through his artistic endeavors. The showcase will predominantly focus on flat works, interspersed with three-dimensional pieces that invite viewers to immerse themselves in Ando's evolving worldview.
