Born in 2000, Sanada Shotaro is an young generation artist with numerous achievements at a his age, winning Art Olympia 2022 and Best Debutant of the Year 2025, and has worked on large murals at JR Nagano Station and Ueno Station and artwork for Google Japan.
He has created creative abstract paintings on the theme of the relationship between the “smartphone screen (information environment)” that modern people face every day and the “substance” called painting.
The exhibition "FOR" connects the "scroll"—a symbol of modern life—with the "vertical brushstrokes" of painting.
From the moment we wake, we reach for our smartphones, our thumbs endlessly tracing the screen in a vertical motion. Shotaro Sanada transforms this unconscious physical action into the strokes of his painting practice. By anchoring "gravity" and "time" onto the canvas through his unique interpretation, he presents a "new landscape" for the digital society.
In addition to showcasing Sanada’s largest-scale canvas works to date, this exhibition features a curation by the artist himself that unfolds his creative and thought processes throughout the venue. We invite you to experience this exhibition in person.
