Stephen Hawking inspired art, and a Dalai Lama SUMO-sized surprise at the Tokyo International Art Fair 2018 - Press Release English Version

The city of Tokyo will be playing host to hundreds of talented artists from all around the world when it stages the fourth edition of the Tokyo International Art Fair on 25-26 May 2018, Bellesalle Roppongi. More than 100 exhibitors from over 30 countries will be filling the prime located venue with an incredible display of art, with more pieces than ever before gathered under one roof for visitors to admire and to buy in the city’s largest Artist showcase of modern and contemporary art.

This year, the organisers Global Art Agency joined forces with BELLESALLE Roppongi to host the fourth Tokyo International Art Fair - yet again expecting thousands of art loving visitors and huge sales. Roppongi (六本木, literally "six trees") is a district of Minato, Tokyo, Japan, famous for the affluent Roppongi Hills development area which includes the famous Mori Art Museum.

Organisers Joëlle Dinnage and her business partner Natal Vallvé from the Global Art Agency are making the fantastic (free) two-day art extravaganza a versatile art happening for the locals of Tokyo. A huge variety of artworks, offering every visitor something to suit their style, all in an affordable price-range to buy and to take home on the day. "We are extremely happy with the new venue, it will be another spectacle." they said.

On show will be paintings, sculptures, photography art, illustrations, printmaking, and jewellery, with a live painting and music show at the event.

“Almost 10,000 people visited the event last year, connections were made, and great sales happened, so everyone was extremely satisfied. There was no doubt to continue and build on the success of the previous editions. We have worked very hard to get a brilliant new venue in one of Tokyo's hotspots attracting art aficionado's from all over the world, and partnering up with The Wall Street Journal has been a great bonus too!" said organiser Joëlle Dinnage.

"We have new talent exhibiting this year as well as some known names, some of them exhibited also with us last year, and of course there are the famous names such as Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Pure Evil and works by Takashi Marukami"

HIGHLIGHTS:

TASCHEN (Japan) will be exhibiting a World Heritage landmark, this SUMO-sized publication presents the most precious surviving murals of Tibetan Buddhist culture.  For the first time, these astonishing and intricate masterpieces can be appreciated in blazing color and life-size resolution. Signed by his Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, coming with a bookstand designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect  Shigeru Ban. 

DisQuiet Gallery (Singapore). There are elusive beasts, and they are called mental illnesses. DisQuiet, an art collective comprising 4 Singaporean artists, aims to create awareness on them. The apparent clash of artistic styles is to tell the narrative that anyone, no matter how different, can succumb to the fragility of the mind. And within each artist’s collection, the pieces depict how the artist views the torment that the sufferers have to go through.

GArtGallery (Russia) is a Moscow-based gallery will be creating a special story in order to present arts in an unusual form with a new conceptual reading at the Tokyo International Art Fair.

Keiko Imaizumi (Canada) will be showing positive enlightened prints presented with LED light backing with a Japanese natural frost motive which reflects the sincerity of the nature of Japan.

Franco The Creator (UK) his creative philosophies are united by eternal values and REVIVAL of spirituality, and serve as an impetus to reconnect with a mode of life most of us have only ever heard about. This driving power that motivates Franco's search for EMOTIONAL TRUTH. He believes that color and geometry can greatly affect how we perceive this meaning. Geometry questions shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space... it almost sounds if Stephen Hawkins had an influence on his works.

Cuen Gallery (Mexico) Expect conceptual design from artist Ramon Jimenez Cardenas creating objects and sculpture pieces. His typologies and materials seen in objects are often derived from design insights seen in his hometown Oaxaca, Mexico. These insights are mostly seen in architectural structures which carry narrative and a graphic language of their own. 

Christopher Parker (USA) Ever heard of ArtLampoons? Well this is your chance to see them... Rice paper lanterns with watercolour, gouache, pen and glycerin.

WOW Art Gallery (HK) Kaya believes that art and design share an inseparable relationship with limitless possibilities. The creative process is a cycle in which people continuously transform, edit and improve the concept, where the purpose is to create creativity in the hope of achieving self-actualization.

Christina Jin (USA) originally comes from New Zealand and she believes our purest form of emotion are in the moments. Those emotion is the most honest, natural and emphatic. She wants to keep that entrance of memory, no matter she goes back or not. Christina always carries her easel wherever she goes. Painting for her is to capture the natural first-hand reaction to her encounters, the thrill and the fear and the realization of her adventure.

And also watch out for EStYLE Art Gallery (Taiwan), ABU Gallery (Guinea-Bissau), Manu Algueró, Suzi Nassif.

Best Artist Award Oxford International Art Fair 2018:

Bogdan Mihai Radu, a Romanian artist whose works spoke volumes at the entrance to the Oxford International Art Fair. On an immense scale that’s immersive, Bogdan’s abstracted expressionism is bold and striking, dense with mood and emotion telling a story of his life, a traumatic episode and a challenging psychological state with which Bogdan worked through in these paintings. ‘I cannot live without painting,’ says Bogdan, ‘because it’s only when I paint that I feel truly alive.’ He is thrilled to have won this award, and will be exhibiting at TIAFA 2018 with pride to show his works to the Asian collectors.

Local Highlights:

AYA Gallery (Japan) Finding inspiration in nature, visualising colours, shapes and lines that feel warm and vibrant. In this exhibition, AYA deal with Japanese agricultural landscapes.

Generative Art Studio (Japan) Expect unpredictable artworks created by programming, 3DCG, MotionGraphics. Without listening to the sound, producing music... it's an experience!

Colleen Sakurai (Japan) Her artistic goal is to keep things simple. Shapes and forms that reveal and accentuate the undulating beauty of the material. 

Also keep a look out for Hiroko Saigusa (Japan), A&S Group (Japan) that have work on from Alex Einbinder and Sachiko Shigeta.

These artists are among the more than 112 showing their work at this year’s fair, which takes place on May 25 and 26. The event aims to showcase both rookie and veteran artists, as well as create chances for networking and buying the art on display.

As the fair runs on two days, it will also be split into private and public viewings. First up is the private, which costs ¥1,500. That provides potential buyers with first pick of the art on offer and includes a serving of Champagne. The public viewing is free, but a lot of people are expected to show up: the inaugural Tokyo International Art Fair last year welcomed more than 10,000 guests.

Friday 25th May 2018 : 18.00pm - 21.00pm

Tokyo to host first international art fair for collectors to connect with the Artists directly – commission free

Tokyo International Art Fair 22-23 May 2015 by Global Art Agency – Quest Hall Harajuku

The city of Tokyo is playing host to hundreds of talented artists from all around the world when it stages the first Tokyo International Art Fairby Global Art Agency from 22nd to 23rd May 2015.

More than 150 artists from over 30 countries will be filling the prime located Quest Hall – Harajuku with an incredible display of art, with more pieces than ever before gathered under one roof for visitors to admire and to buy in the city’s largest Artist showcase of modern and contemporary art.

Following the agency’s successful events in Oxford, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Vienna, and Barcelona it’s now the turn for Tokyo to host the magnificent art fair. Organisers Joelle Dinnage and her business partner Natal Vallvé from the Global Art Agency are making the fantastic (free) two-day art extravaganza a versatile art happening for the locals of Tokyo. A huge variety of artworks, offering every visitor something to suit their style, all in an affordable price-range to buy and to take home on the day. On show will be paintings, sculptures, photography art, illustrations, printmaking, and bespoke crafts, with a live painting and music show at the event.

TOKYO International Art Fair is the first commercial fair of Japan to establish an international network for Collectors to connect and engage with the Artists directly – commission free. With talented exhibitors coming from all over Europe, Russia, US, Australia, and also a selection of local artists.

“The idea for the Tokyo Art Fair started about 3,5 years ago at the Amsterdam Art Fair that Global Art Agency organised. Art collectors from Tokyo visited the Amsterdam event and they bought a range of artworks to sell back in Japan… Without having to say anything to my business partner Natal – we thought the same. And so the research started back then. We quickly found out that there is no such thing in Tokyo for artists to sell directly – commission free, and at the same time found out that the public are very keen on the prospects of having a commercial fair in their city to buy original artworks by international artists that are of an affordable price range. As this will be the first ever artist art fair in Tokyo, we have big expectations and high hopes for yet another successful event for our agency, and ultimately have the Tokyo art fair also annually.” says Joelle Dinnage.

The fair starts in style on the Friday night, 22nd May 2015, with a special private view and champagne reception with tickets costing only 1500 YEN each for an exclusive sneak preview of the treasures that are to come over the weekend.

Entry is then completely free on the Saturday 22nd May from 11am-18pm, with the event culminating in the announcement of the best artists on show at the Tokyo International Art Fair Awards on Saturday afternoon. The Curators and Jury panel of local Art celebs will reveal which artist takes home the title of Best Tokyo International Art Fair Artist 2015 and with it, an exhibition at another forthcoming international art fair. Visitors will also be able to vote for their favourite artist by going to the fair’sFacebook page.

東京でアーティストとコレクターを直接結びつけた初のインターナショナルアートフェア‐コミッションフリー

東京でアーティストとコレクターを直接結びつけた初のインターナショナルアートフェア‐コミッションフリー

5月22日&23日クエストホール原宿にてグローバルアートエージェンシーによる東京インターナショナルアートフェア開催

東京の街で世界中の有能なアーティストを集めたグローバルアートエージェンシーによる初の東京インターナショナルアートフェアが2015年5月22日＆23日に開催される。
30以上の国々から150名以上のアーティストが埋め尽くすのに最適なクエストホール原宿。今までにない素晴らしい多くのモダンでコンテンポラリーなアートを一つ屋根の下で人々は楽しみ、購入もできる。

今までこのエージェントがイベントを成功させてきた街々、オックスフォード、ロッテルダム、アムステルダム、ウィーン、バルセロナ、そして次となる東京で壮大なるアートフェアが開催される。主催者グローバルアートエージェンシーのジョエル　ディナガと彼女のビジネスパートナー，ナタリ　バルベは素晴らしい2日間無料のアートエクストラバガンザ、多芸アートを東京の為に創りあげた。幅広いアートワーク、見る人それぞれのスタイルに合ったアートを、手の届く価格でその日に持ち帰ることが出来る。イベントでは絵画、彫刻、写真アート、イラスト、版画、クラフトに加え、ライブペインティングやミュージックショーもおこなわれる。

東京インターナショナルアートフェアは初のコレクターとアーティスト（才能ある出品者はヨーロッパ、ロシア、アメリカ、オーストラリア、そして選ばれたローカルアーティスト達）を直接結ぶ国際的ネットワークを築くコマーシャルフェアーでコミッションフリー。

「東京アートフェアの案は約3年半前にグローバルアートエージェンシーが主催するアムステルダムアートフェアで始まったの。東京からのアートコレクターがアムステルダムのイベントに来て様々なアートワークを日本で売る為に持ち帰った、、、私のビジネスパートナー、ナタリに何も言わず。　私達も同じことを思いついて、その頃からリサーチを始めたの。するとすぐに東京ではアーティスト達が直接売ること（コミッションフリー）が行われておらず、日本人は自分たちの街でインターナショナルアーテイストから直接オリジナルの作品を手軽な値段で購入することを望んでいることに気がついたわ。これが最初の東京アーテイストアートフェアになるけど、私達エージェンシーにとってまた成功したイベントになる事への高い期待と希望、そして最終的には東京アートフェアが毎年行われることを期待するわ。」ジョエル　ディナガが言った。

フェアは2015年5月22日金曜の夜に始まり、特別なプライベートビューとシャンパンレセプション(チケットは一人たった¥1500)で特別にその週末に見られる宝の数々を前もって見ることが出来る。
入場料は無料で5月23日土曜午前11時から午後6時まで。土曜の午後には東京インターナショナルアートフェアでのべストアーティストの発表があり、イベントは最高潮に達する。キュレーターとローカルアートセレブの審査員はべスト東京インターナショナルアートフェアアーテイスト2015のタイトルを持ち帰るアーティストと次に行われる国際アートフェアの展示を明らかにする。ビジターはこのフェアのFacebookのページで好きなアーティストの投票が出来る。

東京インターナショナルアートフェア2015のチケットは無料ですが、ウエブサイトwww.tokyoartfair.comで予約することも出来ます。
