Selene Art Media
Selene Art Media’s focus is to explore the relationship between art and tradition. Founded in 2019, the gallery picks up mainly emerging Japanese artists and promotes them by producing exhibitions and art fairs. Currently the field of activity happens in Japan and the gallery is expanding its activity in the international domain. Despite the pandemic, the world was split but we believe that art has no border.
Selene Art Media presents two artists in a dialogue:
Souun Takeda is a calligraphy artist who brings the traditional Zen mentality and handcraftsmanship of rice paper into Art.
Kohei Kyomori builds his own visual language by reinterpreting the ornament in the Asian sculptures of all ages. The aim is to show the close relationship between Art and Tradition. Both elements are relative and are necessary to enrich our world.
