Statement
Humankind is uniquely created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26–27), bearing within itself the divine imprint of creativity, communication, and expression. Art is the ultimate realm in which these human gifts are realized.
Alpha Contemporary fosters the creation of artworks that fully activate creative potential and provides a platform through which the messages of artworks and artists can be shared with society. Through exhibitions and sales, the gallery offers a space that stimulates the creativity and communicative capacities of others.
In particular, Alpha Contemporary values not only the artworks themselves, but also the conceptual frameworks and investigative processes formed through the posing of artistic questions and their resolution. Through engaging with these processes, viewers gain insights into approaching adversity and challenges with creativity and critical thought.
The name Alpha Contemporary combines Alpha, the first letter of the Greek alphabet, with Contemporary, representing modern art. It reflects the belief that human creativity is a primordial capacity granted by God at the moment of creation, originating from the source of all existence.
Based in Tokyo, Alpha Contemporary develops and presents original curatorial programs that share not only the artworks themselves, but also the conceptual frameworks and investigative processes behind them with the global art scene.
With a particular focus on East Asian artists—especially women artists—the gallery pursues experimental exhibitions that explore intersections between visual arts and other artistic disciplines such as literature and music, fostering active engagement, reflection, and dialogue through visual art.
