Talion Gallery opened in 2011 in Yanaka, Tokyo, and moved to Mejiro in 2014. The gallery's exhibitions are based on a consistent direction that emphasizes critique of the historical development of art, boundaries with contemporaneous cultural trends, and intersection with social change. The gallery is involved in the long-term management of artists who share a common awareness of issues that transcend generations and disseminates their work to the domestic and international art scene.

The word “talion” expresses the gallery’s desire to find a principle to weave a new connection between various people, systems, actions, words, and money surrounding art to overcome the stagnant situation.
