Curated by Cloud Gallery, the Japan-Korea Contemporary Painting Exhibition brings together artists from Japan and Korea to engage in a cross-cultural visual dialogue through the language of painting. The featured works primarily explore contemporary approaches to realism, reflecting the artists’ perspectives on nature, memory, and lived experience. These visual narratives offer insight into how East Asian artists respond to the evolving contexts of the present moment.

The exhibition also resonates with the 2025 Taipei Art Week theme Kaleidoscope, seeking artistic possibilities that emerge between difference and shared sensibility. The coexistence of diverse perspectives within the exhibition forms a layered landscape, reflecting the richness of Taipei as a converging point of Asian cultures. At the same time, it continues Cloud Gallery’s ongoing curatorial commitment to fostering dialogue and connection across East Asia’s contemporary art scenes.
