gallery UG

gallery UG has evolved alongside artists, fostering their growth and individual talents. At the moment, we represent around 30 young artists who work exclusively with us. Our gallery focuses not only on tableaus and other two-dimensional art pieces, but also on three-dimensional works that require a lot of time and effort to handle.

Since its establishment in Ginza in 2001, the gallery has carried out various projects embodying our unique values within Japan.

In 2011, the gallery relocated to Nihonbashi Bakurocho and became a full-fledged primary gallery.

We've been actively showcasing our artists through exhibitions at international art fairs and partner galleries, introducing them to a global audience.

Since 2016, our emphasis has shifted towards branding efforts in Japan, widely broadcasting our message.

In the fall of 2020, we proudly opened our flagship gallery on the second floor of TERRADA ART COMPLEX II in Tennoz. Throughout the year, we host dynamic solo and special exhibitions that strive to draw attention to the appeal of larger three-dimensional artworks. In the winter of the same year, we opened an art studio to provide an environment where artists can focus more than ever on their production. In autumn 2023, we launched a showroom within Mother, an international advertising agency based in New York.

As we continue our activities in Japan, we realized how important it was to provide a more accessible environment for art. As a result, in February 2024, we founded gallery UG Osaka Umeda, which serves as our base in the Kansai region.

In July 2024, we added a new gallery space on the third floor of TERRADA ART COMPLEX II in Tennoz, along with a second atelier for our exclusive artists.

We aim to further enrich and expand contemporary art by proposing the original state of the art gallery, such as providing support for the artists' production, fostering connections with and between emerging talents, and cultivating numerous opportunities for promotion, just like the former Paris Marg Gallery.
