TOMIO KOYAMA GALLERY
EXHIBITION
RIKA MINAMITANI
Tomio Koyama Gallery is pleased to present its first solo exhibition with Rika Minamitani. In her oil paintings of varying scales Minamitani depicts motifs of everyday objects, landscapes, animals, and human figures through animated brushstrokes and dynamic compositions. Loaded with a unique sense of humor, her images are akin to snapshots of fleeting impressions of the world. The images also result from experimentation with formal elements such as color, form, and outline—for, as the artist states, “figures are just containers for colors and shapes.”

Tomio Koyama Gallery was founded in Tokyo’s Sagacho district in 1996 and has since established itself as a cornerstone of Japan’s contemporary art scene. Dedicated to introducing new perspectives to the art market, the gallery represents a diverse, multigenerational roster of Japanese and international artists, including Kishio Suga, Mika Ninagawa, Hiroshi Sugito, and Richard Tuttle, and also features contemporary ceramics in its program. From the start Tomio Koyama Gallery has maintained an active presence at international art fairs. The gallery moved to its current Roppongi location in 2016 and added another space in Tennozu in 2022.
