Naoki Sato: Unexplored Tokyo – There, It has Grown

Graphic designer and art director Naoki Sato heads Asyl, his own design firm, and also played a significant role in the 2010 establishment of 3331 Arts Chiyoda, an art centre housed in an old Akihabara junior high school. A major player behind the annual Trans Arts Tokyo festival, Sato now heads back to familiar surrounds with this big-time exhibition – his first as a solo artist. 'Unexplored Tokyo – There, It has Grown' consists of large-scale drawings of plants, inspired by Sato's experiences after 3.11 and reflecting how the world changed after that fateful day, displayed all over 3331's expansive surfaces. Also set to take part in this year's Sapporo International Art Festival, Sato is a true man of the moment – start acquainting yourself with his work here.
