Making Art More Accessible, Part of Fashion


"We want to make art more accessible and a part of fashion." With this wish in mind, "New York Gallery" opened. True to its concept, the gallery is filled with stimulating, pop, and unique contemporary art.

The gallery, which recently opened, currently represents two artists. The first is Shane Bowden, an Australian artist based in California, who is beloved by prominent collectors worldwide, from former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair to the conference rooms of American Vogue. His works are displayed on the gallery's main floor.

The second artist is the French artist Mr. Brainwash, who has an unusual background, transitioning from film director to artist. He is known for energizing the graffiti art scene and for collaborations with watch brands like Hublot. In the back of the gallery, you can see his rare original paintings and a valuable mural he personally painted.

Works are available for purchase starting from under 100,000 yen and are also sold online.

"New York Gallery" was born to overturn the image of galleries in Japan as being intimidating or expensive. Owning works by artists like Shane Bowden or Mr. Brainwash in your own home could make everyday life more stimulating.

His representative works are six collections that use paint and photography with a satirical yet pop sensibility. He is popular for his original and dynamic pieces, reminiscent of Picasso and Andy Warhol.
