"Heritage is a river—flowing through time, like pigment in water, blooming anew yet never lost."
Sato Gallery is thrilled to announce a new group exhibition: The Blooming of a Heritage. The exhibition celebrates the theme of “heritage”, exploring its many facets through the works of 10 contemporary Japanese artists. Like the full bloom of spring, each artwork reinterprets heritage, — cultural, technical, or philosophical — offering fresh meanings and new artistic expressions.
Organized by Sato Gallery and co-curated with guest curator Yuki Gomez, this exhibition offers visitors an inspiring journey where tradition meets the vibrant energy and creativity of each artist.
The season of spring, reflected in bold colors, luminous materials, and refreshed forms, serves as an underlying theme of the exhibition. Some artists embody heritage through generations of meticulous craftsmanship, while others reinterpret cultural motifs or explore universal concepts through a modern lens.
A diverse range of mediums will be on display, including painting, ceramics, and textiles. Many artists are presented in Paris for the first time, making the exhibition an unique and exciting discovery of the Japanese art world.
