gallery UG

Since its establishment in Ginza in 2001, gallery UG carried out various projects in Japan. In 2011, the gallery was moved to Bakuro-cho, Nihonbashi, and began full-scale operations as the primary gallery. gallery UG actively holds group and individual exhibitions at overseas art fairs and affiliated galleries and brand our exclusive artists to the art world.

gallery UG opened a new gallery in 2020 and will continue to hold dynamic solo and special exhibitions throughout the year to convey the appeal of sculpture. The gallery also opened an art studio this year. We create an environment where artists can concentrate their works more than ever before and start a movement. gallery UG aims to further enrich and expand contemporary art by proposing the original state of the art gallery, such as supporting the production of artists, fostering and interacting with young artists, and creating many opportunities for promotion, just like the former Paris Marg Gallery.
