Welcome into this storytelling world. If you were a goldfish swimming and wandering through greens, encounter something new, surprising and delightful.

Rikio Ohue
SILENT VIOLENCE
May 5 – 16, 2026
Opening Reception: Wednesday, May 6, 6–8 PM
In his SILENT VIOLENCE series, Rikio Ohue effectively utilizes his own created original colors in forms such as deformed women, children, screaming faces, sunken eyes, and clinging animals to express feelings of anger, fear, unease, and despair that are caused by hidden violence of everyday life.
The simple imagery he seeks to express has its presence further heightened through the repetitive effects of silkscreen printing. Furthermore, by making extensive use of collage techniques, he reaches to swiftly and precisely bring vivid images to life upon the canvas.

Akemi Takeda
FALLOUT SHELTER
July 15 – August 11, 2025
Gallery Talk: Saturday, Aug 9, 14:00–15:00
Akemi Takeda, Rev. Dr. TK Nakagaki, Shinji Harada
Akemi Takeda came to New York from Japan in 1976. She began representing anti-nuclear appealing works after being inspired by fallout shelter signs scattered in the warehouse district of SoHo, where she moved in 1979. Since creating silkscreen printed photo collage “Fallout Shelter” in 1985, her motifs have expanded to include atomic bombings, nuclear testings, and nuclear power plants. This exhibition features 12 pieces (2019–2025) among the series that combines thermal transfer printing with drawing, which is her retrospective result of pursuing creation for decades.
