GALLERY KTO is a contemporary art gallery based in Tokyo, with exhibition spaces in Shinjuku and Harajuku. Since in 2019, the gallery has presented exhibitions by internationally recognized artists such as Jiro Takamatsu, Kenny Scharf, and Bernd Koberling, while increasingly focusing on discovering and supporting emerging and mid-career artists whose practices offer fresh perspectives within contemporary art.
Rather than following established trends, We are committed to introducing artists with distinctive artistic languages and fostering long-term development through exhibitions, publications, and international collaborations. While many of our represented artists work primarily in painting, the gallery actively embraces interdisciplinary practices that extend across sculpture, installation, photography, and other contemporary media.
In recent years, we has expanded its activities beyond Japan through participation in international art fairs and collaborative projects, particularly in Asia, creating opportunities for Japanese artists to engage with global audiences and critical discourse. By connecting local artistic practices with international contexts, the gallery seeks to build sustainable cultural exchange and contribute to the evolving landscape of contemporary art.
Alongside its primary gallery spaces, GALLERY KTO organizes exhibitions across multiple venues in Tokyo, presenting approximately fourty exhibitions annually.
Through these activities, the gallery aims to cultivate meaningful encounters between artists, artworks, and audiences while supporting the continued growth of contemporary artistic practice.
