Mizuma Art Gallery

Executive Director Sueo Mizuma established Mizuma Art Gallery in Tokyo in 1994. Since then, the gallery has continuously presented artists from Japan and, increasingly, from the surrounding region whose works demonstrate distinctive sensibilities, unaffected by fleeting stylistic trends.

Reflecting the rapid expansion of Asia’s contemporary art market, Mizuma Art Gallery opened an additional space at Singapore’s Gillman Barracks in 2012 under the name Mizuma Gallery. From 2014 to 2019, the artist residency space Rumah Kijang Mizuma operated in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, providing a new platform for dialogue by supporting exchanges between East Asia and Southeast Asia. From 2018 to 2023, Mizuma & Kips opened in New York as a collaborative space between Mizuma Art Gallery and New York-based Kips Gallery.

Mizuma Art Gallery actively participates in international art fairs, including Art Basel Hong Kong, Art Dubai, and Art Taipei. In 2024, the gallery celebrated its 30th anniversary, marking three decades as a distinctive force in the international development of contemporary artists from diverse aesthetic backgrounds.
