Marinus van Hall

Dutch artist Marinus van Hall will present his latest series of portraits, a mesmerizing fusion of European technique and the enigmatic beauty of a fictive hidden past of Japan. Deeply influenced by his years in Japan, van Hall’s work transcends mere representation, instead acting as a window into a forgotten world—one that seems to exist just beyond the veil of memory.

His portraits depict elegant, ethereal women, rendered with a precision reminiscent of the Dutch Golden Age, yet infused with a mysticism rarely seen in Western portraiture. Each figure carries an unspoken story, a presence both ancient and timeless.

Blending esoteric symbolism, Zen philosophy, and the universal search for the unseen, van Hall’s paintings invite the viewer into a dialogue with the unknown. His art does not provide answers—it raises questions, drawing us into the profound mysteries of consciousness, beauty, and the enduring power of myth.

Yoshiyasu Tamura (1977, Gunma Japan) is a manga master from Japan that creates bold, emotionally resonant artworks that fuse the dynamic essence of manga with the refinement of contemporary painting. His pieces feature expressive female figures, mythic and futuristic imagery, and intricate detail, offering a striking dialogue between tradition and innovation.

Tamura’s work has been exhibited worldwide, from Tokyo and Florence to Los Angeles and Amsterdam. His collaborations with renowned brands such as McQ Alexander McQueen further exemplify his dynamic approach to art and fashion.
