Gallery G-77 is a contemporary art gallery based in Kyoto, Japan. Rooted in Kyoto yet engaged with global discourse, Gallery G-77 presents artists who do not simply preserve inherited imagery and aesthetic traditions, but expose them to new material, technological, psychological and cultural environments, allowing unexpected forms and relationships to emerge. In the paintings of Toyohiko Nishijima, flowers and Rimpa aesthetics encounter semiconductor architectures and digital networks. Keisuke Watanabe reconsiders the body and the legacy of Shunga through proximity, movement and embodied perception. Chihiro Taki reimagines historical and religious iconography through questions of agency and contemporary identity. Hiroko Shiina transforms ornament, memory and Vanitas imagery into psychologically charged symbolic worlds. In the photographic works of Mikito Tanaka, atmosphere, absence and temporal distance become active components of perception itself, while Hiroko Tsuchida reveals unexpected emotional and material presences within everyday forms and objects. Across painting, photography and object-based works, the gallery explores the subtle relationships between image, material, atmosphere and perception, favouring works that reveal themselves gradually through shifting relations between surface, atmosphere, sensation and experience. Across painting, photography and object-based works, the gallery explores the subtle relationships between image, material, atmosphere and perception, favouring practices in which meaning unfolds gradually through shifting relations between surface, atmosphere, sensation and experience. Ink, mineral pigments, gold leaf, handmade paper, lacquer, reflection and texture play a central role in many of the works presented by the gallery. Rather than simply carrying images, these materials shape how artworks emerge, respond to their surroundings and reveal themselves over time, encouraging slower and more attentive ways of looking. Within this framework, Japanese aesthetics associated with impermanence, emptiness, incompleteness, withdrawal and partial visibility resonate strongly with contemporary philosophical concerns surrounding perception, materiality and presence. Rather than prioritising spectacle or immediate readability, Gallery G-77 cultivates forms of attention grounded in contemplative intensity and heightened engagement.
