SHUKADO Gallery

In this project SHUKADO Gallery shows 5 artists and Ukiyo-e woodblock prints.

Ikenaga Yasunari is one of the representative artists of the Japanese Art scene. Painted on his own dyed linen canvas, his "bijinga (Portraits/ prints of beautiful women)" provide a sophisticated texture and taste. Takahiro Hara, studied Spanish modern realistic painting, depicts “things lurking in our daily life”. His sincere attitude toward all kind matters, even such as problems of life and death gives us a genuine impression of universal beauty. Chiharu Kihara is an untamed artist, using not only hands but also fingertips, elbows, legs, even all her body. She vividly depicts her images of spiders, birds, or wild animals in a swift casual manner. daikichi is quite different from what you imagine about a doll artist. The fresh and bewitching beauty abounds in rich resonance with the realization of every part, such as fingertips, legs, eyes, lips, teeth and even gums of his figurines, emanating overwhelming charm on us. Saki Matsumoto is a Japanese artist based in Prague, who expresses lively and colorful worlds in her works. Her main theme is nature, culture, and to visualize the invisible things that she feels from nature. She makes folklore motifs colorful and graphical from each culture. From Ukiyo-e we selected the representative artists Hokusai, Hiroshige and so on.
