YEN YEN-JUI LAI was born in Taichung, Taiwan in 1990. She completed her Master's degree in painting and drawing at Pratt Institute in New York, and eventually moved back to Taiwan. An important part of her practice are her daily line drawings. Lai creates drawings of minimal shapes in pencil and water color. The drawings sometimes evolve to become installation pieces with video and sound. While Lai’s works are delicate, dreamlike and whimsical, there is a sense of fear and menace underneath. “The process (of drawing) feels like a battle; after I finish the works, the fear still exists, but I can live with it,“ states the artist. Lai’s works have been shown in New York and in Taipei.

ASAKO TABATA was born in 1972 in Kanagawa, Japan. After graduating Tama Art University and soon after becoming a mother and homemaker, she continued to make art. Not active on social media, Tabata has kept her work private with the exception of occasional shows in small galleries in Tokyo. Tabata had her first solo exhibition in the United States, “Cutting A Loquat Tree” at SEIZAN Gallery New York in 2022.

MOTOHIDE TAKAMI was born in 1986 in Ishikawa, in the northern part of Japan. While he was a graduate student of Tohoku University of Art in Yamagata, the Great Earthquake of 2011 occurred. The disaster and its aftermath had a dramatic impact on the subject matter of his oil paintings. One of his signature images, of flames by the riverside, refers to the Japanese expression, "fire on the other side of the river," meaning somebody else's business. It is Takami's ironic examination of human disinterest in tragic events which do not directly impact them. Takami’s paintings have been shown in Japan and in the US, including a solo exhibition in 2019 at SEIZAN Gallery New York.
