Surrounded by the vibrant fresh greenery of the season, Kiyoharu Art Colony is pleased to present the following exhibitions and permanent collections across our three galleries.

⚫ Yoshio Taniguchi / Kiyoharu Shirakaba Museum

Gallery 1: “The Shirakaba-ha Collection”
This gallery features masterpieces closely associated with the Shirakaba-ha literary and artistic movement, showcasing works by Georges Rouault, Auguste Rodin, Ryuzaburo Umehara, Kikuo Kojima, Naoya Shiga, Bernard Leach, and Shoji Hamada. Additionally, Saneatsu Mushanokoji’s Self-Portrait has been newly added to the display since April 2026. In the sunlit corridor space, visitors can also explore the works of Antoni Clavé, often hailed as the successor to Picasso.

Gallery 2: “Inner Cosmos”
This group exhibition brings together renowned domestic and international contemporary artists. Exploring the theme through the distinct lenses of “micro cosmos, everyday cosmos, and macro cosmos,” the gallery features works by Jiro Yoshihara, Roe Ethridge, Björn Dahlem, Barbara Kruger, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Daido Moriyama, Kishin Shinoyama, and André Butzer.

⚫ Yoshio Taniguchi / Rouault Chapel

The Rouault Chapel was built to commemorate Georges Rouault, regarded as one of the greatest religious painters of the 20th century. The chapel exhibits the stained-glass masterpiece Bouquet above the entrance door, a 17th-century wooden crucifix positioned behind the altar, and selections from Rouault’s profound print series Miserere.

⚫ Tadao Ando / Museum of the Light

Exhibition: “Untitled”

This exhibition features works by André Butzer and John Armleder.
André Butzer has developed a diverse painterly language spanning from vibrant, pop-inspired character paintings to his “N-Paintings,” which reflect the deep influence of abstraction and minimalism. This exhibition traces his rich artistic trajectory shaped by his ongoing dialogue with the history of painting.
John Armleder presents a site-specific installation. Within Ando’s architectural space—designed to be illuminated solely by changing natural light—Armleder introduces fluorescent lights as symbols of artificial illumination, presenting a striking contrast between architecture and light.
