EXHIBITION
JEAN JULLIEN AND NICOLAS JULLIEN: THE GATHERING
Nanzuka is pleased to announce “The Gathering,” an exhibition by Jean Jullien and Nicolas Jullien. Drawing inspiration from the card game Magic: The Gathering, which they play daily, the brothers imbue their artwork with a quality of everyday fantasy.
“The Gathering” unfolds in two parts, with Jean’s paintings on the first floor of the gallery and Nicolas’s wood sculptures on the second. As a testament to the artists’ close relationship, the two bodies of work complement one another, from the lightness and wit of the sculptures to the sense of narrative and time in the paintings. Solo shows—by Jean at 3110NZ by LDH kitchen and Nicolas at Nanzuka 2G—run concurrently to this exhibition.

Nanzuka Underground was founded in 2005 in Shibuya as an experimental space dedicated to redefining design, illustration, street culture, fashion, music, and other creative fields as subjects for rigorous study. In particular the gallery aims to rediscover figures who were not considered “fine” artists by the Japanese art world that developed after World War II, including Toshio Saeki, Hajime Sorayama, Keiichi Tanaami, and Harumi Yamaguchi. Nanzuka Underground collaborates with many international galleries to support the broader reception of emerging Japanese artists such as Haroshi, Masato Mori, Ryuichi Ohira, Makoto Taniguchi, and Hiroki Tsukuda. The gallery also works with international artists to introduce global perspectives on contemporary art to Japan.
