About A Lighthouse Called Kanata

Since 2007, A Lighthouse called Kanata has been dedicated to the reevaluation of contemporary Japanese art in the 21st century, aiming to expand the boundaries of contemporary art from a diversified, multi-ethnic perspective. Through the rediscovery and evolution of aesthetic traditions, Kanata focuses on abstract painting and sculpture by both Japanese and international artists, reimagining beauty through an emphasis on materiality. The gallery hosts 4 to 5 exhibitions annually and participates in 6 to 8 international art fairs. Its program is further enriched by publications that document and promote both emerging and established artists. Kanata also partners with leading international institutions such as the Metropolitan Museum (NY), the V&A (London), and the Long Museum (Shanghai), among others, creating global platforms for the recognition of the gallery's unique perspective and aesthetic.
