Born in Boston on May 12, 1936, Frank Stella is one of the artists representing Minimalist abstract painting in post-war America. A painter and sculptor, his early works featured simple stripes and symmetrical patterns. From the 1980s onwards, he began creating dynamic works that defy categorization as either paintings or sculptures, characterized by various colors, twisted planes, and forms that burst beyond the two-dimensional frame.

The Japan Art Club and Nipponya Workshop are led by a calligrapher and artist. These initiatives focus on disseminating Japanese culture. The Japan Art Club, a members-only organization, was established as part of this cultural enlightenment mission. Since 1990, the Nipponya Workshop has been promoting Japanese craftsmanship and materials. In 2004, the Gaigei Japan Cultural Exchange Foundation was launched to foster international cultural exchanges and organize workshops for children.

Born in 1981 in Ehime Prefecture, Japan, he is a landscape artist, plant space producer, and “shoyoshi” (a master in the art of plant and garden arrangement). He works on gardens, landscapes, mountain restoration, spatial presentation using plants, and plant art. His planting designs are based on natural principles, expressing the mythological and cultural aspects of the land. He continuously creates spaces that interlink homes, gardens, towns, and mountains, aiming for environments where not only humans but also other life forms can coexist.

He is a graffiti artist who specializes in unique lettering with a sense of dynamism and vitality, influenced by calligraphy. After participating in Japan’s first major graffiti exhibition “X-COLOR” in 2005, he expanded his activities and has been invited to over 10 countries, including the USA, Germany, and France. He is the representative of “dimlight,” a graffiti shop and art studio.

A Japanese painter who creates pigments from scratch, finely grinding raw materials like minerals and rocks using tools like a stone mill. Having spent about half of his life abroad, his work expresses a world that transcends borders and where diverse entities coexist in their natural state. While inheriting the tradition of Japanese painting, he attempts to capture and visualize abstract concepts like time and emotions, which are intangible in the physical sense, at a higher dimension.

The art project “BANANA X,” which utilizes NFTs, is inspired by “Comedian,” a banana taped to a wall at Art Basel Miami in 2019. This simple piece, a “banana taped to a wall,” sold for $120,000, sparking the idea for this project. “BANANA X” parallels the current NFT movement with “Comedian,” and is designed to allow participants to engage as stakeholders through NFTs.
