Kohei Nawa returns to Tokyo with a new presentation at Tokyo Shibuya Koen-dori Gallery. The venue lists the exhibition Shisei for June 27-August 30, 2026.

Tokyo's summer opening

The show opens at Tokyo Shibuya Koen-dori Gallery, Galleries 1 and 2, plus the Interactive Space. The page also names an artist talk on July 12, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM.

Admission is free, and the gallery is closed on Mondays, except July 20. That detail positions the presentation as a public-facing institutional event rather than a private preview.

Why the schedule matters

For Kohei Nawa, a summer run in central Tokyo keeps attention on the physical encounter with his work. The setting suits a practice that often stages material, surface, and perception as active elements.

The run time gives the project a long view. Viewers in Tokyo can return across more than two months, which matters for works that reward close looking and changing light.

How Kohei Nawa works

Kohei Nawa is best known for sculpture and installation, often with a strong material component. His work frequently pushes between organism, object, and image, which gives it a precise but unstable visual charge.

That position makes exhibition framing important. A venue like Shibuya Koen-dori Gallery can emphasize scale, sequence, and the viewer's path through the work.

Where the artist stands now

Kohei Nawa currently has a confirmed exhibition run at Tokyo Shibuya Koen-dori Gallery from June 27-August 30, 2026.
