Osaka is Japan’s second largest city after Tokyo. GALLERY wks. was founded in 2002 in the gallery district “Oimatsucho” of Osaka. At a unique location in the top floor of the apartment,the space is a simple white cube. It’s a very creative act to transform an empty space into an extraordinary world through collaboration between artists and galleries. The gallery owners are interested in a wide range of genres such as painting, sculpture, photography, lacquer art, pottery, installation, Contemporary dance. And the gallery presents a truly unique expression and is known for avantgarde activity. In 2019, a joint exhibition “Peace and Unity through Art in Japan” by artists from four nation, Philippines, Indonesia, Singapore and Japan was held.
