Eugene Kangawa / EUGENE STUDIO

Eugene Kangawa (寒川裕人) was born in the United States in 1989. Known for his abstract and large-scale paintings and installations, his past exhibitions and installations include EUGENE STUDIO After the rainbow (2021-2022) at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, de-sport (2020) at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, 1/2 Century later (2017) at Shiseido Gallery, Tokyo, 89+ Project (2014) at the Serpentine Gallery etc.

Especially known for becoming the youngest artist ever to have a solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo, by the end of the exhibition period, there were hours-long queues of people waiting. Following this, in a format similar to a touring exhibition and with the collaboration of diverse collectors and individuals, the opening of a permanent museum in Bali, Southeast Asia, called Eugene Museum Bali is planned.

In addition, in the past, he was invited to participate in various research and development projects in the fields of artificial intelligence, mobility, agriculture, and biotechnology. These early activities were summarized in 2017 in the book The Age of Art × Technology (written by Daisuke Miyatsu, Kobunsha Shinsho) as one of the four leading Japanese artists along with Team Lab and others.

Furthermore, two short films released in 2021 have been selected as Official Selection or won awards at several film festivals, including the Brooklyn Film Festival, Urbanworld(Urban World?) Film Festival, Pan African Film Festival, Houston International Film Festival and other.

 

“THE EUGENE Studio’s White Painting series […] transforming the canvases into nomadic shrines to love and memory….
White Painting series returns the monochrome to its iconic if uncertain place between a portal and a thing.”

Passion in Monochrome
David Geers (an art critic who contributes his writing to October and among other places)

 

 

“Now, art pieces created by team lab, takram, Rhizomatiks, and The Eugene attract worldwide attention. These next-gen companies ask the public a new sense of value by integrating Japanese unique concept and advanced technology. ”
