Saito Sho, born in Tokyo in 1970, is a graduate of Tama Art University’s Graduate School and a member of the Dokuritsu Art Association and Jukkakai. Known for his warm and whimsical animal-themed artworks, Saito's creations often present a seemingly innocent and playful world while subtly reflecting profound thoughts on social emotions and human relationships. This exhibition marks Saito Sho’s first-ever solo showcase abroad and represents a significant milestone in his artistic career.
To prepare for this milestone exhibition, Saito traveled to Singapore which was his first time to the sunny island. Through this trip, he observed the city's cultural diversity, tropical environment vastly different from Japan, and vibrant social dynamics. He incorporated these local elements into his new creations, imbuing his works with a unique connection to Singapore and a fresh layer of artistic depth.
Every painting captures a moment, telling its own story. Through anthropomorphic animal characters, Saito narrates the delicate connections between humans, nature, and society in a humorous yet heartfelt way. His artworks evoke warmth and invite viewers to reflect on societal phenomena and the details of everyday life. Both adults with a keen interest in art and children drawn to whimsical imagery can find resonance and joy in his creations.
Saito believes that art does not require complex language to communicate. A single painting has the power to transcend cultural boundaries and touch the hearts of its viewers. Through this exhibition, he aims to use his gentle brushstrokes to bridge emotional connections between people of diverse backgrounds, turning art into a medium for understanding and communication.
Step into the artistic world of Saito Sho and discover your own stories and reflections within his works. Let this artistic journey be a moment of warmth and inspiration in your life.
