Artists
IMAMURA Ryosuke 1982-
Lives and works in Kyoto Prefecture. Employing various media including installations, video, painting, and text, Imamura Ryosuke examines small events in everyday life and expresses them in forms that act on the viewer’s memory and senses. He first encountered Mitsushima through “The Kyoto Archive of Art by People with Disabilities” project operated since 2018 at “art space co-jin” (Kyoto Prefecture) by the Kyoto Culture and Art Promotion Organization for People with Disabilities.
Imamura’s many exhibitions include Yokohama Triennale 2011 at the Yokohama Museum of Art (Kanagawa Prefecture, 2011) and the 5th Shiseido Art Egg at Shiseido Gallery (Tokyo, 2011). He has worked in Europe as an artist-in-residence and as an overseas training program participant. Collected by: Hyogo Prefectural Museum of Art (2017).

MITSUSHIMA Takayuki 1954-
Born in Kyoto Prefecture. Mitsushima Takayuki lost his sight at the age of ten. While practicing acupuncture for a living, he has explored new expressive methods to communicate his own physical sensations. In addition to “touchable paintings” employing tape and cutting sheets, he employs other original methods of his own, such as “tactile collages”* and “nail series.” In 2020, he opened studio “Atelier Mitsushima” as a base for exploring new approaches to barriers.
Mitsushima’s many exhibitions included “KALEIDOSCOPE: Six Individual Expressions" at the Setagaya Museum of Art (Tokyo, 2003) and "MOT Satellite 2019 Wandering, Mapping” at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (Tokyo, 2019). Collected by: Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo (2019), others.
*By touching materials that combine various textures, viewers can sense the world that Mitsushima knows through his senses.
