YUGEN Gallery (KD Minami Aoyama Building 4F, 3-1-31 Minami Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo) will hold the "Keisuke Matsuda Exhibition [tentative title]" from Saturday, June 20, 2026, to Monday, July 20, 2026.
Matsuda, born in Gunma Prefecture in 1984, completed his master's degree in painting (oil painting) at the Kyoto City University of Arts Graduate School of Fine Arts and is currently based in Kyoto.
Matsuda's paintings are characterized by flowing strokes of vivid colors and bold blank spaces, but his gaze on motifs, points, lines, and planes has changed significantly over the years.
Furthermore, Matsuda's practice, which has mainly focused on painting, has expanded to ceramics in the 2020s.
This exhibition is a mid-career retrospective, looking back at Matsuda's diverse creative activities over approximately 20 years and tracing the evolution of his style.
In conjunction with the exhibition, a small catalog will be published, and a talk event is also planned.
We sincerely look forward to your visit.

About YUGEN Gallery
YUGEN Gallery was established in February 2022, specializing in Japanese contemporary art. It operates from two locations: Minami Aoyama, Tokyo, and Tenjin, Fukuoka.

The gallery introduces emerging contemporary artists active both domestically and internationally, exhibiting a wide range of genres. Its official website also offers online sales of works in both Japanese and English, delivering art to people worldwide.
