Carrier Pigeons

Four young artist originally from Japan have decided to get together and express their thoughts living in foreign country through their art pieces.

The role of artist is to deliver messages to the audience with artistic languages. The question for the artist is how to deliver the message in an interesting way.

Carrier pigeon, the title of this exhibition, was once used as a medium to deliver messages. The artists will deliver our messages through the medium of painting.
The artists participating in this exhibition are all Japanese. We hope you will enjoy seeing how the Japanese artists express what they have sensed in the culture of New York, a community made up of many different people.

Being artist living in NYC and Japanese nationals are the common thread running through these artists.
They are also each employed as assistants in the studio of the contemporary artist Tomokazu Matsuyama.
