    PROFILE

    IROGOE is an art project dedicated to discovering talented emerging artists who have yet to gain wider recognition and connecting their creative expressions with people, companies, brands, and everyday life.
    The name “IROGOE” combines two ideas: “IRO,” meaning “color,” representing the unique sensibility and individuality of each artist, and “GOE,” meaning “voice,” representing our mission to share the thoughts and stories behind their work with society.
    Our goal goes beyond simply exhibiting artworks. We carefully communicate not only the works themselves, but also the ideas behind them and the stories of the artists who create them. Through collaborations with companies, brands, and commercial facilities, as well as product development, pop-up events, spatial design, and licensing opportunities, we create new connections between artists, people, and opportunities.
    For artists, IROGOE provides opportunities for their creative expression to reach wider audiences and lead to the next stage of their careers. For those who encounter their work, we hope to offer a chance to discover new perspectives and values that may slightly change the way they see everyday life.
    IROGOE aims to create more moments where artistic expression meets people—and where those encounters inspire new possibilities for the future.
    At UNKNOWN ASIA 2026, IROGOE will present the unique “colors” and “voices” of each artist we have selected. Through their works, we hope to show the potential for these distinctive forms of expression to connect with new people, companies, communities, and society at large.

  • LEXPO

    PROFILE

    PROFILE: LEXPO is an international art gallery established in 2020, dedicated to promoting Taiwanese artists. Our mission is to introduce talented creators to the world and provide opportunities for them to shine on the global stage.

    Taiwan is a land of cultural diversity, where various ethnic traditions coexist. This rich cultural background is vividly reflected in its art. The traditions and beliefs of Han Chinese, Hoklo, Hakka, and Indigenous peoples bring distinctive character and vitality to Taiwan's art scene. Here, traditional arts such as calligraphy and ceramics coexist with contemporary art, and this cultural diversity serves as a wellspring of creativity—nurturing unique and dynamic artistic expressions.

    This time, we are pleased to introduce three representative artists whose participation in the exhibition has been confirmed.

    Chen Chiang-Xu (陳鏘旭)

    I am an art creator from Taiwan, primarily focusing on landscapes as my creative theme. Landscapes often carry a connotation of escape. This choice initially stemmed from a sense of unease and anxiety regarding the rapid pace of contemporary society. Therefore, I attempt to present a spiritual world that transcends reality, serving as a ferry to escape the complex real world. Now, within existing art forms, I hope to experience the vast world attentively and strive to present my thoughts and reflections from daily life.

    Su Ming-Hin (蘇明欣)

    Graduated from the Graduate Institute of Fine Arts at Tunghai University, majoring in Western painting, I have been creating art for over 20 years and also serve as a part-time art instructor at universities. I enjoy using botanical landscapes as a theme to depict changes in light and create a tranquil poetic atmosphere. I believe that painting is also a continuous process of self-reflection, through which one can understand different versions of themselves at every stage of life.

    BONi I am a creator who constructs personal memory through images, records, and objects. My practice is grounded in a life shaped by constant mobility. Living in a constant state of transition has shaped my distinctive understanding of "belonging": home is not a fixed address, but a psychological space that can be carried and folded wherever one goes. Using black, white, and red as my visual framework, I weave a portable room of my own—one that captures the quiet solitude of contemporary women and the density of time within the noise of the city.

    PROFILE

    An encounter of artists capturing the spirit of “now,” presented by *clam magazine*, the Paris-based art and culture publication.

    Illustration, fine art, woodblock printing, abstract painting. Bringing together artists working across a diverse range of artistic disciplines, “clam KYOTO” is an international art project that shares the art of “now” with the world.

    Launched in Kyoto in 2025, the project is steadily creating new pathways for artistic expression from Kyoto to the world. The 32nd issue of *clam magazine*, published in 2026, is exclusively available until autumn at the bookstore of Palais de Tokyo, one of Paris’s leading contemporary art institutions.

    Since its founding in 1999, *clam* has embraced the philosophy of “LOCAL EVERYWHERE,” connecting diverse forms of creativity from around the world. “clam KYOTO” was born from a dialogue between Andy Amadi Okoroafor, the art director and film director behind *clam*, and Yoshimi Yoshimoto, curator of this exhibition. Transcending geographical and artistic boundaries, the project continues to serve as a platform for presenting new forms of creativity to the world.

    We invite you to experience the rich horizons and vibrant energy of contemporary art connecting Japan, Paris, and the world.
