PAST EXHIBITION

Nami Okada, Ittetsu Tsuji, Kentaro Minoura

Group Show

Sep 6th, 2025 - Oct 3rd

104GALERIE (Nakameguro, Tokyo) is holding a group exhibition with Nami Okada, Ittestu Tsuji, and Kentaro Minoura from September 6th (Sat.) to October 3rd (Fri.) 2025. The gallery has primarily focused on showcasing overseas artists, and this is the first exhibition to focus on Japanese artists. It features both two- and three-dimensional pieces created through various means of expression.

PROFILE

Nami Okada was born in 1991 in Gunma. She completed her post-graduate studies at Tama Art University’s Graduate School of Art and Design in 2016. In a process of expressing time and memory through painting, Okada applies layers of acrylic paint and scrapes it to create unique work that is both abstract and figurative. Canvasses on which she layers multiple scenes that she has visited or witnessed in the past are transformed into new emotional landscapes. Accumulation in her work evokes past memories of the viewers and atmospheric scenes, triggering imagination and the extension of concepts.
Her major solo exhibitions include Life (organized by anonymous art project, anonymous bldg. / ZeroBase Jingumae, Tokyo, 2025), The eternal moment (gallery UG, Tokyo 2024), and NANJO SELECTION vol.2 ”A Whiter Shade of Pale” (N&A Art SITE, Tokyo, 2023).

Ittetsu Tsuji was born in 2001 in Tokyo and is currently studying at Tokyo University of the Arts in the Department of Design.
Tsuji focuses on contingency and imperfection in real life, and has explored forms that create different expressions at times according to the relationship between the work and the exhibition space or the viewers. This exhibition features some new work that expresses his deep interest in furniture, tools, and architecture as specific themes. His work maintains metaphysicality yet, by pursuing a path that reflects physicality and improvisation rather than set plans, raises compositional elements in the most primitive sense before the eyes of the viewers.
His exhibitions include In the pocket (biscuit gallery, Tokyo 2025), Don’t worry (CEKAI O!K STORE&SPACE, Tokyo, 2024), KUMA experiment 2023-24 (Kuma Gallery, Tokyo 2023), and Comité Colbert Award 2022 (Tokyo, 2022) in which his submission was selected as an excellent work.

Kentaro Minoura was born in 1978 in Shizuoka. He has recently relocated from Tokyo to Yamanashi.
Minoura has always created art with close affinity to cultural forms such as manga, anime, games, films, music, and street culture. Today, he continues to produce painting work from his base in Yamanashi by freely experiencing nature and the seasons. Flowing beneath his artistic activity is the current of universal human behavior, simple yet profound, which continues to this day. Undefined by abstract or figurative, his expression rather oscillates between them in a free and unbound framework that conjures a primitive sense of the human that is beyond language or image.
His major solo exhibitions include Tsu (Gallery Trax, Yamanashi, 2024), So (Studio 35 Minutes, Tokyo 2023), and Se (parcel, Tokyo, 2022).
