biscuit gallery (Shinjuku, Tokyo) is pleased to present “Drawing Up the Remnants of Antiquity,” a solo exhibition by contemporary artist Yosuke Yamanouchi.
The exhibition will be on view from Saturday, November 29 to Sunday, December 14, 2025, and will be held at “On,” the space located between biscuit gallery and AWASE gallery.

This exhibition is a traveling presentation of “Drawing Up the Remnants of Antiquity,” a project selected for the Aichi Triennale 2025 program of Art Lab Aichi and the Four Art Universities’ series of solo exhibitions.
It will be presented at biscuit gallery as part of this ongoing initiative.

This will be Yamanouchi’s third solo exhibition at biscuit gallery.

We warmly invite you to visit and experience his latest body of work.

Yosuke Yamanouchi
1996    Born in Aichi, Japan
2019    BFA in Painting, Nagoya Zokei University of Art and Design
2021    MFA in Oil Painting, Tokyo University of the Arts

Yamanouchi confronts the history and structure of painting itself in a frank manner and creates works that attempt to draw out its full potential.His approach of quoting classical paintings while slightly and boldly altering them is reminiscent of the stance of avant-garde artists, Dadaists, and Surrealists, but his works go further and refer to the materiality of matériel in painting.

Just as the Russian avant-garde artists created the concept of Faktura, in which they paid attention to the surface treatment and effects of paintings. Yamanouchi, as seen in his “Epidermis Series,” does not limit painting to a simple discussion of images but gives his works visual effects that could be called “the tactile nature of vision.

biscuit gallery (Shinjuku, Tokyo) is pleased to present “Standing on the Line of Reflected Light,” a solo exhibition by contemporary artist Machi Sugita.

The exhibition will be on view from Saturday, November 29 to Sunday, December 14, 2025.

Opening party: November 29, Sat 16:00-19:00
*The artist will be in attendance.

This will be Machi Sugita’s first solo exhibition at biscuit gallery. The show will primarily feature paintings, along with a selection of ceramic sculptures and drawings, creating a multifaceted presentation of her practice.

 

“Standing on the Line of Reflected Light”

 

The shimmering of heat haze flickers within memory.
A constant, vivid afterimage lingers behind my eyelids, ceaselessly wavering.
That light, imbued with a certain warmth—could it be the glimmer of horsehair? Or the reflection of white?
Perhaps it is something latent—or perhaps, it is the reflected light that comes from you, arising in the dialogue between people.
As I recall each of these rays—these fragments of reflection—I gaze quietly out the window.

Just as deeper light intensifies shadows, my practice begins with perceiving the reverse side of every scene and thing—the land where history and blood have accumulated, and the truth that can only be seen through my own eyes.
Because everyone carries a kind of paleness within them, I have come to accept and affirm the boundary line.

“When facing someone in daily life, I inevitably think about the boundary line that lies between us. The very act of setting up a sign creates and reinforces that boundary.
There is the undeniable reality that boundaries are eternal—and with them, the order and comfort they preserve.

These elements, along with the landscape, reflect and refract one another, shaping the world we inhabit. It may be impossible to cross the boundary itself, yet by standing before it, continuing dialogue, and deepening mutual understanding—that, I believe, is what is asked of us.”

And as time flows on, one’s body is carried back into the everyday—back before the canvas.

The humidity, the land, the fleeting conversations—a glance downward brings a quiet sense of reassurance.

Indeed, I am here.

And the paintings inherit these memories of mine, preserving them alongside the light.

Machi Sugita

 

Opening Talk Event

To commemorate this exhibition, a talk event will be held featuring Machi Sugita and Kohei Yamada (painter).

We warmly invite you to join us.

Venue: biscuit gallery (Shinjuku)
Date & Time: Saturday, November 29, 13:00–14:00
Admission: Free (Please note that seating is limited.)

 

Machi Sugita
2000　Born in Saitama
2020　BFA, Joshibi University of Art and Design, Junior College of Art and Design
2022　Completed Research Student Program, Joshibi University of Art and Design (Bachelor’s Degree)

Sugita consistently paints “light.”
City lights emerging from the darkness, vividly flashing neon signs—light serves as a symbol of life and a place of peace for humanity. Through her brushwork, she portrays the irrationalities and fragilities of modern society, aiming to reveal the issues underlying various phenomena and situations.

biscuit gallery will be hosting “nekis,” a solo exhibition by contemporary artist Nagisa Tsuji, commencing on Saturday, October 18, 2025.

There will be an opening party on October 18th from 4:00pm to 7:00pm, and the artist will be in attendance.

“nekis” is Tsuji Nagisa’s second solo exhibition and her first at biscuit gallery.
The exhibition will be centered around her previously released “nekis series.”

“Nekis” is a work of fiction that treats the Winged Victory of Samothrace as if it were a single “species,” such as amphibians or birds, this species is named “nike’ which are then collected as specimens.

 

I go out into the field to photograph them, akin to bird-watching. What is collected are then mounted as specimens and added to a collection.

 

The accompanying landscape photographs serve as captions explaining where the specimen was found, or as a backdrop for photographs that appear to document its behavior.

These specimens invite us not only to contemplate the fictional life-form “nike”, but also to observe what kinds of material layers make up a collage. Supported by the thin needle is a mere piece of paper that looks as if it could fly away, and the shadow it casts is also opaque and flimsy.

 

These works, from different times and places, are made to overlap within the single plane of a panel.

 

※Note: The Winged Victory of Samothrace is an ancient Greek sculpture representing the goddess of victory (Louvre Museum).

 

Please look forward to the exhibitions featuring the emerging artist Nagisa Tsuji.

Yosuke Yamanouchi, an artist represented by biscuit gallery, will present his solo exhibition “Drawing Up the Remnants of Ancient Times“ from Saturday, October 4, 2025.

This project is a collaborative initiative between Aichi University of the Arts, Nagoya University of the Arts, Nagoya University of the Arts and Design, Nagoya University of Arts and Sciences, and Art Lab Aichi. Timed to coincide with the international art festival Aichi 2025, it will feature a series of four consecutive solo exhibitions by four artists.

From among the artists recommended by each university as having strong potential for future success, selections were made through discussions between curator Hiroyuki Hattori, faculty members from the respective universities, and the staff of Art Lab Aichi.

Holding solo exhibitions across three galleries of varying sizes (with a total area of approximately 150㎡) will be a significant challenge. We invite you to look forward to these exhibitions by emerging artists who have studied art in Aichi and who will play a vital role in the future.

biscuit gallery is pleased to announce the solo exhibition “Dream” by contemporary artist Yulala Mori, opening on Saturday, September 20, 2025.

This will be Mori’s second solo exhibition since January 2024, and her first to be presented at the gallery’s new Shinjuku space.

 

“Dream”

With romantic music,
sounds set out on a journey from the studio into the forest.
They turned into painted stars scattered across the sky.
An eagle soaring over the moon,
a laughing horse,
the scent of flowers blooming throughout paradise.
I want to let a pleasant breeze flow.
With love to my beloved Rousseau!

— Yulala Mori

 

 

Please look forward to the exhibition created by the emerging artist Yulala Mori.
