Shimijimi: Dyed and Inlaid Textiles by Shigeki Fukumoto | April 30 - June 6 | Ippodo Gallery

We would like to express our gratitude for those who joined us on Thursday to celebrate the opening of Shimijimi: Dyed and Inlaid Textiles by Shigeki Fukumoto with the artist. The exhibition is on view through June 6th. We look forward to welcoming you!

"Distinct from tableaux, tapestries, or conventional fiber work, Fukumoto is carving out a textile horizon that has never been seen before. His work is an attempt to quietly dissolve the boundaries between nature, daily life, and art. The dyeing that emerges is a new spiritual frontier of creativity that permeates the heart deeply—truly, Shimijimi." —Shoko Aono, Director

Shimijimi: Dyed and Inlaid Textiles by Shigeki Fukumoto | Opening Tomorrow | April 30th, 5 – 8PM

Shigeki Fukumoto uses his textile inlay technique, or nuno-zōgan—in which he reassembles small pieces of cut, dyed fabric into larger mosaics—to create his traditional byōbu screens. Each fragment interacts uniquely with light and perspective, giving the impression that the screens shimmer with color.

Please join us tomorrow, April 30th, from 5 – 8 PM, in welcoming artist Shigeki Fukumoto, who travels to New York from Kyoto to celebrate his New York solo exhibition at Ippodo Gallery.

Banquet of Life: Nihonga Paintings by Daisuke Nakano | March 19 - April 18 | Ippodo Gallery NY

Tomorrow is the last chance to view Banquet of Life: Nihonga Paintings by Daisuke Nakano. The artist focuses on the concept of "ma" (間, a space between) in his work. In a walk through of the exhibition, he explained:

"I’m quite conscious of the composition when I paint. Of course, the motifs themselves are important, but I actually look at the gaps created between them and think about the composition from that perspective. That’s why I believe that for a Nihonga piece to be truly excellent, the focus on the motif itself and the focus
on the "empty space where nothing is drawn" must be balanced equally." —Daisuke Nakano

Shimijimi: Dyed and Inlaid Textiles by Shigeki Fukumoto | April 30 - June 6 | Ippodo Gallery

We are delighted to welcome the artist Shigeki Fukumoto, who travels to New York from Kyoto, to celebrate his New York solo exhibition at Ippodo Gallery. Please join us on Saturday, May 2nd at 1:30PM to learn about the artist's creation processes and philosophies.

"The image takes form by a process that occurs perhaps of its own volition, perhaps of yours, in which the hand moves, the heart moves. It is important that the work should both have its own robust presence, and shine with the spirit of the artist." —Shigeki Fukumoto

Banquet of Life: Nihonga Paintings by Daisuke Nakano | March 19 - April 18 | Ippodo Gallery NY

Daisuke Nakano describes how he uses the traditional medium of Nihonga painting, iwa-enogu (mineral pigments), to create the effect of gradation and transparency in his works. Layering flat applications of subtle differences in color, Nakano is able to achieve three-dimensionality.

"Nihonga differs from Western painting in its 'shading technique.' It’s not about drawing a shadow somewhere because of where the light is hitting it. Each part is treated as a crisp, flat plane, but through the continuity of those planes, I try to express gradation, depth, thickness, and translucency. That might be the defining characteristic of Nihonga materials." —Daisuke Nakano

Please join us in celebrating Banquet of Life: Nihonga Paintings by Daisuke Nakano, on view at our New York gallery through April 18th.

The Four Season Series

"Since transitioning from painting animals, I still feel the need to include animals or rather, flora and fauna, such as insects. I used to paint only large animals, but I’ve started incorporating these small living things, like insects and small birds. Their presence adds "movement" to the canvas. In terms of composition, they act like "characters" that make the scene more brilliant or peaceful." —Daisuke Nakano

Banquet of Life is on view at Ippodo Gallery through April 18, 2026.

Banquet of Life: Nihonga Paintings by Daisuke Nakano | March 19 - April 18 | Ippodo Gallery NY

Artist Daisuke Nakano creates a “shizu” (preparatory sketch) for his works, all of which are extremely detailed. These sketches are drawn from real life; the artist spends hours immersed in the environment that he depicts, carefully denoting what he sees in the natural world. These sketches are traced onto the surface of his paintings. He then blocks out the silhouette of his composition with “Gofun” paint, which is made of the inner part of oyster shells.

Banquet of Life: Nihonga Paintings by Daisuke Nakano is on view through April 19th. Our gallery address is 35 N Moore St, New York, NY 10013. We are open from 11 - 6 Tuesday - Saturday and by appointment only on Mondays.
