Upcoming

[External Exhibition] Hidden Landscapes ー One Room, Two Windows
: Arisa Nakabayashi, Namu Choi ー Inspired by Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own" ,Presented at Art Fair Tokyo

12 Mar 2026 - 15 Mar 2026

Two female artists turn to the shared motif of the forest, each exploring a different world through her own “window.” A forest is a place where light refracts, ecosystems overlap, and unseen forms of life circulate quietly. Though a single subject, it reveals entirely different faces depending on one’s distance and point of view—a discreet and intimate world shaped by perception.

[External] Group Exhibition : Tokyo Midnight Canvas (Seoul, South Korea)

15 Oct 2025 - 7 Nov 2025

Alpha Contemporary (Tokyo) is pleased to participate in the group show Tokyo Midnight Canvas currently on view at Gallery Oll in Seoul, South Korea.

Tokyo Midnight Canvas brings together three emerging Japanese painters — Maoka Ueda, Xu Zichun, and Char Takagi — whose works reinterpret the boundaries between the virtual and the real through contemporary painting. Born in the late 1990s, they represent a new generation exploring identity, memory, and digital sensibility with vivid colors and intuitive forms. This exhibition offers Korean audiences a glimpse into Japan’s evolving visual language and the shared resonance of young artists across Asia.

A Room of Her Own : East Asian Women, Tokyo Sensibility - from Virginia Woolf's "A Room of One's Own"

11 July 2025 - 13 July 2025

Alpha Contemporary is proud to present 「A Room of Her Own: Asian Women, Tokyo Sensibility - from Virginia Woolf's "A Room of Ones's Own"」from July 11 to July 13, 2025, at Tryst 2025 that is an international art fair for artist-run-spaces and collectives as well as an international gathering to address the needs and future of global exchange for artist-run spaces, collectives and organizations, run through the Torrance Art Museum (TAM) and the City of Torrance.

The phrase A Room of Her Own echoes Virginia Woolf’s enduring assertion that women need space—both physical and metaphorical—to create. Here, seven Asian women artists reimagine that room not as a retreat, but as an active site of transformation.
