Here's a look at the highlights of the art at ART AIR "MEET YOUR ARTISTS".

Based on the concept of "encountering art through dialogue with artists," this art fair will feature approximately 500 works by 49 up-and-coming Japanese artists recommended by MEET YOUR ART, primarily those who have appeared on the program.
This event will feature and sell numerous works by up-and-coming artists, primarily focusing on new releases, many of which can only be seen here. In addition to two-dimensional and three-dimensional works, various artists will be creating installation pieces specifically for this event, which are a major highlight.

Project Area: "Opening Connections Through Harmony"
"Opening Connections Through Harmony" introduces works that connect people and nature, past and present, and different cultures and values, using "Wa" (harmony) which breathes life into Japanese culture as a starting point. Aoyama Meguro presents "Neo Edo" as a special edition of MYAF. It re-examines the vivid colors and bold expressions of Toyohara Kunichika, a ukiyo-e artist who was active from the late Edo period to the Meiji era, from a perspective that connects to the present day. In addition, Nagasawa Aoi will be exhibiting at the art fair for the first time. In a collaboration between Nakayama Arisa (euglena) + Hakobune G ALL, works will be displayed alongside crafts and antiques. Through encounters with works that transcend time and genre, new connections and dialogues will be opened.
