Press Release

ShugoArts is pleased to announce the opening of ShugoArts Show from January 14 featuring new works by Lee Kit and Anju Michele. Although these artists do not have direct connection with each other, the clear winter air seems to be appropriate to showcase their art practice in which delicate and beautiful lights are expressed.

Anju’s studio in Kyoto is located in a place surrounded by abundant nature. He lays down panels on tatami mats and creates works of art with the help of natural light coming from the yard, regardless of season or weather. There is silver paper attached to the panels, which can capture a small amount of light. His images come into existence one after another as the artist’s heart and body react to the movement of light, which keeps changing with each passing moment. In this exhibition, he introduces various forms that seem to float softly in the air.

Hong Kong born Lee Kit’s situation has changed a lot as it synchronizes with the turbulent times that we all have experienced in the last few years. Daily life from the past cannot be realized in the present time. As Kit accepted these changes and moved forward, utilizing light, which drops shadow, reflects movements and reveals true forms of all kinds, has become an increasingly important element to his practice. In this exhibition, we will showcase three works of art including a projection-based work and a flower-themed work.

About the Gallery

ShugoArts, established by Shugo Satani in 2000, values its locality, selects its artists regardless of their time and place, and sends out its activities from Tokyo.

Today, it has gotten much easier to appreciate various artworks of all times and places and their meanings, as well as spaces exhibiting artworks, need to be redefined, including contemporary art galleries. ShugoArts prioritises how to realise artists’ own growth as artists or make the most of their accomplishments. In order to nurture their abilities and possibilities, we provide our space for artists to express themselves freely and follow their artistic journeys side by side. Under any circumstances, our mission is to work and grow together with artists who ceaselessly create artworks, which shine a light on life and give it validation.

ShugoArts holds about 7 exhibitions a year and participates in national and international art fairs while simultaneously managing commissions for public spaces and organising performance and talk events. In addition, we also would like to be a part of art histories at large by creating invaluable archives and assisting art institutions.
