    • Before You Explore

      AN INVITATION

      To recall the conditions conductive to your enjoyment of art, perhaps the quietude and serenity of our recently vacated 101 Collins St gallery space, to allow yourself a mental health moment to discover and explore the artists in focus, the nature of their artistry and their artworks.

    • HOW DO WE SELECT OUR ARTISTS?

      For LKG, there are several criteria for a truly great contemporary artist: acknowledgment of tradition, both cultural and artistic, yet superseding and recreating it; mastery of technique and material, and uniquely creative use thereof; articulated philosophy of the work and the artist's relationship to it; and the 'x' factor which combines all of these with the artist's unique creative inspiration to provide us with that inexplicable, inexpressible 'wow' that tells us we are in the presence of greatness.

      .

      We hope your visit to this site and the pages dedicated to these contemporary Japanese artists and their artforms might inspire you to consider, discover and explore what signals greatness to you.

    • Artist pages 

      DISCOVER THE ARTIST

      Interspersed with selected works and exhibition images, these artist curatorial pages introduce the artist, the traditions from which their work emerges and their contribution to the contemporary landscape.

      Installation pages

      EXPLORE THE ARTISTRY

      Explore selected works amidst curatorial insights and statements shared by the artist on signature techniques and themes, influences and inspirations.

      Artforms

      LEARN ABOUT THE ARTFORM

      In the artists we represent, we esteem acknowledgment of an artistic tradition's origins and mastery of technique alongside a transformation, innovation or reinterpretation of the form that gives it new life in a contemporary context. Understanding of the historical and cultural conditions from which the artform emerges allows for the fullest appreciation.
