K. Art Studio is a gallery and an Art shop located in Minami-ku, Nagoya City. In the gallery space, which was
reconstructed from a private house, many artists have exhibited their works for over a quarter of century and are
still
doing
so today.In the shop area, we have a small but high quality shop, where we aim to create a unique art
market,
selling high quality art worksfor affordable prices. Nowadays, we live in the age when products made by
the
machines
and virtual communication, such as the Internet is the norm. However, most of the products handled
by
K.Art Studio are high quality,one-of-a-kind, hand-made by different artists.
In addition, the function of this space is to arrange a place where people can actually meet each other,in spite of
today's
Internet-dependent communication society.It is not to denigrate or deny digital technology, but it is a
place
that aims to connect people in person through ART while making use of the digital technology advantages.
Media allows you to check the image, as information-Digital in terms of music-data.Moreover, there is
a place
where
you can see and get the real thing, experience vivid emotions-live performance, in terms of music.
Is there a difference between digital and analog?
I propose a new value system that allows people to encounter and purchase works created by artists,to enjoy them
at home: taking advantages of both. I would like to develop my business, while proposing a new sense
of value
to the general public, where they can encounter local and international artists' works.In the near future,
as an organizer of this vision, my mission is to continue developing and disseminate an art market that can propose new valuesand lifestyles to the general public.
