Close to Yokohama Chinatown. A small gallery where wonderful encounters await
art truth

This time, we visited the gallery "art Truth", which is quietly opened in a very quiet place, which is hard to believe that it is located in a corner of Yokohama Chinatown, which is crowded with many tourists.

The small gallery, which is based on the concept of "works that you want to display close to you" and "pictures that you can enjoy living with", has art works carefully selected by the owner Mr. Nishiumi from various genres, mainly paintings.

Soft sunlight pours in from the large front window, making the white-based gallery a warmer and more comfortable space.

Tables and chairs are also placed, and it is also attractive that you can spend a relaxing time while appreciating wonderful art works and enjoying talking with the artist and Mr. Nishikai.

At the time of our interview, "Art Truth" was holding a solo exhibition by artist Kaori Nagayoshi, titled "Devices for Dreaming." This will be his fourth exhibition at the gallery. Prints and pottery works created by artists were lined up as if they were welcoming visitors.

This is Mr. Saikai, the gallery owner. He talked about his thoughts on "art truth".

“Our gallery is working on nurturing and supporting young artists, but what we value most is not only the artists, but also our customers, and of course myself, we all learn and grow through art. I want it to be a place where I can work,” says Nishikai. Then, "For example, I would be happy if you could come here and meet a work that will nourish your soul, just like you can quietly read a book when your heart is depressed. You will want to keep it near you. We will continue to introduce such works that you can cherish forever."

Eating delicious food in Chinatown, shopping in Motomachi... it's wonderful to just wander around and meet art that enriches your days here. By all means, please visit "art Truth" in search of a wonderful encounter.
