About This Exhibition: A Message from the Artist

Having worked for over 20 years in the cultural crossroads of New York and shaped by my roots in both Japan and the United States, this exhibition in Tokyo holds deep personal significance for me. I believe there are unique insights we can share across countries, languages, cultures, and generations as we navigate this era together.
I hope visitors step into my world of artworks not only as observers but as participants and conversational partners, engaging directly with the pieces and finding their own connections.


TOMOKAZU MATSUYAMA

Born in 1976 in Gifu, Japan, Matsuyama is currently based in Brooklyn, New York. His work spans painting, sculpture, and installation, organically blending and reimagining diverse elements–such as ancient and modern, figurative and abstract, Eastern and Western. His art reflects both his cross-cultural experiences and the evolving nature of contemporary society in our information-driven world. Major public art projects include the Bowery Mural (New York, USA, 2019), Hanao (JR Shinjuku Station East Square, Tokyo, 2020), and Wheels of Fortune (Meiji Shrine, Tokyo, 2020, part of the Jingu Gaien Art Festival).

Recent notable exhibitions include Mythologiques (Venice Biennale, 2024), MATSUYAMA Tomokazu: Fictional Landscape (Hirosaki Museum of Contemporary Art, 2023), and MATSUYAMA Tomokazu: Fictional Landscape (Shanghai Powerlong Museum, 2023). Matsuyama’s work is also on view at Foundation Louis Vuitton in Paris through February 2025.
