Killi Okaji
Tokyo International Gallery is pleased to announce Hanging Windows, a solo exhibition by Okaji Killi, on view from Saturday, January 17 to Saturday, February 21, 2026.
Killi’s practice centers on urban landscapes seen through windows. The scenery observed through glass is reflected, fragmented, and transformed by the material’s inherent properties, eventually emerging as an entirely new vista. Rendered using traditional Nihonga techniques, his windows possess the subdued chromatic tones and planar quality of mineral pigments, allowing them to subtly assimilate into their surrounding space.
Killi also explores the intimate relationship between painting and the private realm of the room. Through the act of “hanging” a work, a new spatial dimension unfolds within the living environment. We invite you to experience at the gallery the ambiguous, window-framed worlds that Killi evokes in this exhibition.
