BANK BED GALLERY

The middle of a journey.
The scenery you see, the birdsongs you hear, the scent of nostalgic flowers you smell…
We would like you to have a comfortable time surrounded by unforgettable memories.
Pack a fun extraordinary time into your bag and start on a new day.

The theme of the art project is "Collection".
It came from an image that is colored by various "memories" we have collected while strolling in Tokyo.

Bank Bed Gallery is pleased to introduce works by artists who are based in Tokyo.
The art works as the "memories" can be traveled with you. We hope that you will find your favorite piece.

what does it mean by "common"?

having stable work in the society?
having love with others?
having tomorrow after the end of today?

there is nothing wrong with those answers, yet…
…we don’t know….

Love expressing.
Love connecting to the world through different pieces of an expression puzzle.
Love our freedom and just love expressing.


普通ってなんだろう。
社会で安定して働くことか。
男女が出会い、愛を育むことか。
今日が終わり、明日がやってくることか。
どれも間違いではないだろうが、
私たちにはわからない。

表現をすることが好きだ。
それぞれの違った表現方法を通して、
世界と交わる断片を拾い集めているのかもしれない。
私たちはこれからも自由に表現し続けていく。

  • Heart Kyan / 喜屋武 葉亜都
  • Heart Kyan / 喜屋武 葉亜都

Heart Kyan produces her work based on a sense of discomfort in daily life. The feeling comes from casual moments or human’s behavior, etc. In this exhibition, her work shows sliced moments of what she has encountered in a half year journey of Asia.

  • Miu Kubo / 久保 美生
  • Miu Kubo / 久保 美生

Based on the traditional printing technique, Miu Kubo mixes with concept of the “Mono-ha”. The intension of her work is to produce "casual", and the whole work can be said that there is no particular meaning. So please do not consider it too much and just see it as "crappy".

  • Amane Sasaya / 笹谷 あまね
  • Amane Sasaya / 笹谷 あまね

Amane Sasaya seeks boundary of reality and dreams through her artworks. She notes: Thinking back the day when I lie down on the bed. Regret, delight, smile, and the moment to release my consciousness. Between reality and dreams, it sways. This repeats every day, but I never get used to. The unstable moment brings comfort. Where is the boundary of the world and me?

  • Soichiro Yamaguchi / 山口 宗一郎
  • Soichiro Yamaguchi / 山口 宗一郎

By traveling Asia in half year, Soichiro Yamaguchi noticed receipts have been issued in Asian countries as same as Japan, and his work aims to find differences by aligning the receipts in each country. When photographs taken on distant lands were lined up side by side, he started making work based on the fact of a connection between photos and photos.

  • Minami Yamanaka / 山中 南実
  • Minami Yamanaka / 山中 南実

Same day, same life, repetitive moment passes without any color. Minami Yamanaka releases a shutter to capture plainness and emptiness of our daily life with doubts. She notes: small instances, such as wind or seasonal change, could become a trigger to shrink the distance to life. We usually don’t notice unless we try to see them, but these are always there if we look up closely.

Minami Yamanaka / 山中 南実

  • ShiYing Li / 李 仕贏
  • ShiYing Li / 李 仕贏

Li ShiYing admires the other side of the world and captures the non-reality existing in the reality. A virtual image stays in the place of reflection on water or glass, and its characteristics are creating reversed figure. It is always with us. Although virtual image exists in reality, it seems to stay in other world.

ShiYing Li / 李 仕贏

  • Momoko Rokunuma / 六沼 桃子
  • Momoko Rokunuma / 六沼 桃子

Momoko Rokunuma expresses the works by non-logical way of thinking and aims to produce soft product (soft = curved element) rather than art pieces. On this exhibition, she shows the work of personification of machinery that clock cannot measure the time accurately.

Momoko Rokunuma / 六沼 桃子

旅の途中。目にした風景、耳を澄ました鳥の声、どこか懐かしい花の匂い。
抱えきれないほどの思い出に囲まれて、心地良いひとときを過ごしていただきたい。
楽しい非日常の時間をカバンに詰め込んで、新たな一日に旅立っていただきたい。

テーマは「採集」。
東京を散歩して集めてきた色々な「思い出」に彩られているイメージです。

Bank Bed Galleryでは、東京をベースに活動しているアーティストの作品を少しずつ紹介いたします。
「思い出」はお持ち帰りいただけます。あなたのお気に入りが見つかりますように。
