RYOICHI FUJISAKI
Born in 1975 in Osaka, Ryoichi Fujisaki studied sculpture at Kyoto City University of Arts and is known for a practice that confronts the realities of materials. Started in 2020, his ongoing “scan” series, for example, explores the sculptural concepts of positive and negative space on a flat surface by transferring uneven textures from the reverse side of a wood panel onto a cutting mat. On display in this solo exhibition will be two-dimensional works made of PVC sheets and pigment on wood panel alongside a single-channel video and a new sculptural installation.

Kana Kawanishi Gallery was founded in 2015 to showcase Japanese and international artists who explore aspects of society through visual media. The gallery is located in Kiyosumi-Shirakawa, a five-minute walk from the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo. Its satellite space, Kana Kawanishi Photography, which focuses on contemporary photography, opened in 2018 in Nishi-Azabu, near the Mori Art Museum. Both spaces were designed by Yuko Nagayama & Associates.
Kana Kawanishi Gallery has placed works by its artists in major public collections, including the British Museum, London; the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa; the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo; and the Tokyo Photographic Art Museum. The gallery also regularly participates in international art fairs, including NADA New York, photo basel, Photo London, and Unseen in Amsterdam. Kana Kawanishi Gallery was named a “power player” of the Tokyo art scene by Artnet News in 2022 and has previously been featured in stories in Artsy, the Asahi Shimbun, Bijutsu Techo, Blouin Artinfo, The Guardian, Forbes, Libération, and Monocle.
