Tetsuo Mizu
Tetsuo Mizu
A painter who gained recognition in the 1980s with his “Flag Series.”
By combining international maritime signal flags,
he developed a unique visual language that merges symbolic systems with abstraction.
Based in Italy, France, and Spain,
he exhibited widely and received critical acclaim in Europe.
His works are characterized by finely structured compositions,
with matte, volumetric surfaces that have been noted for their affinity with ukiyo-e.

Yu Seto
Yu Seto (b. 1994, Odawara, Kanagawa, Japan) graduated from the Department of Sculpture at Tokyo University of the Arts and completed his MFA in Sculpture at the same university. Drawing on his interest in natural science, he creates sculptures of wild animals, primarily using terracotta. By leaving traces of his touch and the sculpting process visible on their surfaces, Seto explores the structures and movements of living beings and the essence of their existence. In addition to exhibiting in Japan and internationally, his practice extends across disciplines, including collaborations in fashion and design.
