Art Beasties seeks to broaden and deepen the understanding of contemporary Japanese art to international audience, promoting individuality and diversity of esthetics away from the influence of dominant mainstream Japanese pop culture.

With our first group show Introductions we offer you a first glimpse into the works of artists who's practice centers on the individual and academic exploration of self identity; artists brought together by a common goal of expanding the context of what it means to be a Japanese Artist.

Through hosting pop-up show around the city and curating an online registrar of Japanese artists Art Beasties seeks to create alternative roads for audience, artists and critics to discover and share in critical discussion about Japanese contemporary art.
