Gallery COMMON

Founded in 2010 by creative agency en one tokyo and currently under the direction of co-founder Satoru Arai, Gallery COMMON emerged from the street culture of Harajuku as an intimate space for both Japanese and international artists and trendsetters to interact with the local scene. Approaching art from the unique and non-traditional background of creative agency, the gallery was established with the aim of bridging the paradoxical yet symbiotic gap between fashion and art, street and commercial, subculture and mainstream. Since then, the gallery has expanded its vision to work with both renowned and upcoming contemporary artists across diverse countries and disciplines while participating in art fairs and collaborative projects throughout Japan and abroad.
