Sho+1 was established in 2017 as the successor to Galerie Sho Contemporary Art. The gallery presents works by both Japanese and international artists distinguished by a strong sense of individuality, curated through a unique perspective. It places particular emphasis on exhibitions centered on Pop Art and Pop Culture. Sho+1 believes that a gallery should be a space guided not by trends, but by the galleristʼs enduring and discerning aesthetic vision. Sho+1ʼs program is not limited to Pop Art; it encompasses abroad range of practices, including works that engage conceptual concerns as well as those that are radical or erotic in nature. A defining curatorial approach is the presentation of primary artists alongside internationally established artists̶ carefully selected through an independent viewpoint̶ within the same space, a methodology that continues the core concept of its predecessor. Building on over four decades of experience in gallery management and an extensive network, Sho+1 will continue to develop our program with a focus on today's internationally active artists from abroad, while further advancing collaboration with worldwide gallerists to a higher level.
