Nicolas Krupp Gallery presents a group exhibition of historically important Post World War II and contemporary artists with a strong link to Japan. Curated by Anne Mosseri-Marlio, who has a longstanding fascination with Japan, post-World War II art and Gutai, the exhibition is inspired by personal exposure, experiences, interpretations and some artists’ reactions to historical events. She has selected a group of paintings, works on paper and sculptures from 1964 to 2024 by eleven artists born in Japan and who had travelled, lived or exhibited abroad.

On the basis that strong and diverse artistic traditions and styles, current events and philosophies may influence contemporary art, that trends can be global but uniquely interpreted, it is interesting to examine works from a different culture, and, in this case, an island nation. At its core Japan is very close to its traditions but open to adjustments. To the foreign admirer, contemporary Japanese art is fascinating as we share visual points of reference but these are differently assimilated, interpreted and not always fully comprehended as originally conceived by the artist.
