Saori HASEGAWA

Lost Garden

gallery UG Tennoz

We are pleased to announce that gallery UG Tennoz will host a Solo exhibition "Lost Garden" by Saori HASEGAWA from Friday, May 2 to Sunday, May 25, 2025.

Saori HASEGAWA has been working consistently on the theme of “Lost Landscapes”. In 2022, she participated in the "Blue Period" exhibition at the Terada Warehouse, followed by her participation in the group exhibition "Visualization" at galley UG Tennoz in 2023 and her solo exhibition "Botanical garden" at Bakurocho. In the past years, she has been exhibiting at numerous art fairs, expanding her activities beyond the borders of Japan.

In this exhibition, visitors can enjoy the novelty of standing in front of Saori HASEGAWA's paintings, and let their consciousness be guided by their own memories and fantasies.

Please stop by if you are in the neighborhood.

"What human beings cannot do
is truly see the landscape before us when our consciousness is not grounded in the “here and now.”

A landscape that cannot be seen = nowhere.
“Nowhere” appears only when we wander—yet we cannot see it.
All we can do is notice that the unseen landscape might have existed.
We live our lives overlooking such presences.

As long as we exist in the present, the “now” clings to us—so close that we can hardly see it.
What a lost child needs is not to return, but to become lost in another place—somewhere outside of the “here and now.”

The paintings in this exhibition do not represent the landscapes of a lost child.
They do not depict lost landscapes, because “Nowhere” is a landscape that cannot be seen.
These works are not representations—they are devices that invite the viewer to wander into “another place,”
and perhaps notice the quiet presence of “Nowhere.”

What we encounter here is surely such an existence."

ー Saori HASEGAWA

Junko ASANO

Imaginary New Town

gallery UG Osaka Umeda

gallery UG Osaka Umeda is pleased to announce the solo exhibition "Imaginary New Town" by Junko ASANO, from Wednesday, May 14 to Tuesday, June 10, 2025.



ASANO has been an exclusive artist of gallery UG since 2011. She has held a solo exhibition at Gallery UG Bakurocho every year, while also participating in various art fairs both in Japan and abroad. We have primarily promoted her work in Asia, with a focus on art fairs in Taiwan.


We hope you will enjoy this nostalgic and amusing Animal Playhouse, which incorporates the anthropomorphic animal culture that has been enjoyed in Japan since ancient times.

gallery UG


"I express visions inspired by ordinary daily life, where animals happily coexist and warm feelings of nostalgia prevail. I hope viewers will cherish their imagination, which is often overlooked in today's fast-paced world, and the time they spend relaxing. Through my work, I encourage them to freely imagine the stories that lie beyond the artwork."

Chill Art Summer [ART colours vol.44]

Park Hotel Tokyo (25th Floor)

gallery UG is pleased to announce its participation in “Chill Art Summer [ART colours vol.44],” held at Park Hotel Tokyo (25th Floor) from Monday, May 19 to Sunday, August 24, 2025.

Representing gallery UG, the exhibition will feature works by Junko ASANO, Rei ITAYA, Shoichi OKUMURA, Takaoki TAJIMA, Mika CHIBA, Keitoku TOIZUMI, Takayuki NIWA, Nobuko NUMANO, Kunihiko NOHARA, Misako MAEGAKI, and Osamu WATANABE.

The exhibition is open to the public and can be enjoyed by both hotel guests and visitors alike.
The exhibition from summer to autumn 2025, gallery UG will present an art exhibition at Park Hotel Tokyo.
In the midst of our busy lives, we all need moments to quietly unwind and reconnect with ourselves. These “chill-out” moments are essential to our well-being.
This exhibition is designed to offer guests a peaceful, healing experience through art, an opportunity to truly feel what it means to “chill.”
The first installment of this series is titled “chill art Summer,” featuring artworks inspired by the season of summer. From playful accents to eye-catching focal points in everyday life, the artworks on display promise to offer presence and calm. If a piece resonates with you, it may even become a companion in your own chill-out time at home.
We invite you to take your time and immerse yourself in a tranquil encounter with art in the serene atmosphere of Park Hotel Tokyo.


Please note: The artworks on display may be rotated without prior notice during the exhibition period.
