Special Exhibition
Akira Taniguchi & Sacco Arai: A Duo Exhibition “Beyond the Gaze” Held concurrently with the ART BOOK POP UP FAIR, this exhibition features two promising young artists.

Akira Taniguchi, who integrates his indelible Oriental sensibility into the context of Western art, and Sacco Arai, who uses Japanese painting techniques to depict scenes reminiscent of American movies. As if they had crossed each other through opposite doors. The characters in Arai’s works seem to have before them the light and clouds drawn by Taniguchi and the ever-changing elements, and it can be said that finding eternity within and feeling the totality of time behind them are the common charms of these two artists, who transcend East and West.
