Gallery Zero

Gallery Zero was founded in Osaka in 1993. Since its establishment, the gallery has championed the work of artists who have shaped the course of contemporary Japanese painting since the 1990s, including Masahiko Kuwahara and Yoshie Sakai. It has also supported a younger generation of painters such as Naoko Yabe and Takeshi Hosaka, followed by Asuka Yokono and Taishi Nishi from 2016, and Tomoko Arakawa from 2024, continuing to explore new possibilities in contemporary Japanese painting. The gallery also places a special focus on the work of Yohei Nishimura, whose practice has played an important role in bridging ceramics and contemporary art since the 1980s.
