To live in New York is the dream of many people. For contemporary artists, the art market inside of Japan is very limited and many artists wish to work inside a more competitive and international environment, a place where the possibilities are infinite. For this exhibition, we chose five artists living in New York. They moved to the city in different periods and in different ways, some receiving fellowships while others came to study and continued to live here after graduating. Being an artist living overseas is a very risky life because they do not have any protection from a company or institution. But they move forward, fight, survive and create new things. The artworks selected for this exhibition are pieces focusing on a more narrative subject and use traditional materials such as oil painting or acrylic. Some artists have an extensive career in Japan, and some others, despite a long career developed in the US, are completely unknown in Japan.(the Organizer)
